You can run the wires from the first light to the second light, green/bare to green/bare. Make sure the black and white wires coming from the fixture itself are the ones you match up the black and white to the new fixture. The rest is rather immaterial.

You have to find a circuit breaker for this circuit. If it is 15A you can use 14 g wire for your extension. If it is 20A you must use #12.

Thanks guys!! What's the easiest way for me to find the current amps so I can get the correct wire? I would think it should be a 15A white wire, not yellow which I know was installed for my microwave as it 20A. Should I just look at and match the current wire coming off my existing flood light?

Thanks for the quick response and all the help!

I ordered a couple flood lights and will try it out soon. (With in a week)

You have to turn the breaker off to work on this. Look for a number on the breaker handle, 15 calls for #14 wire which is generally white, 20 needs a #12 wire which could be a yellow jacket.

Don't trust the jacket colors. While hedricus is right for the common available wiring, to be sure you need to read the writing stamped on the jacket.

Find the breaker for the circuit.

IT determines the wire size.

Think of doing this also.. where would you hide the new wire ?
