Adding Outdoor soffit lighting with Existing Sconces

6 years ago

Hello everyone. Currently our outside is lit by 3 sconces total, (1 by the front door, and the other two on the sides of the garage). Both of these are on separate switches, (2 total). We are going to be adding soffit lighting around the house and am wondering if we should have a separate switch for the soffit lighting or should I tie them into the other lights. Luckily, all three options are fairly simple thanks to the layout, but the two switch design would be much, much easier.



Sorry the only photo I have right now is at Christmas time, but I did note the placement of the future lights and the yellow spots are the location that the soffit lighting will be.


Thank you all,
