I am gonna put an outside light on my garage. I bought a GFCI receptacle with a switch on it to control the outside light. It has the 2 line's and 2 load's and then at the bottom has 2 black wires and it only says switch output. I read the instructions on wiring and have books with wiring but kinda stumped. Just wire the line in's and then the 2 switch output wires to the light? Don't seem right though. Anyone help? Thx.

I believe I figured it out. The 2 black switch outputs is what through me for a loop and many others after doing a bunch of searching on Google. Black feed wire to brass line, white feed wire to silver line, black switch output to load brass, other switch output to black wire on light, white wire from light to load silver. This makes the light protected by the GFCI and turned on by one device. Correct me if I am wrong or missing something. Oh yeah and connect the grounds!!! Gonna install it tomorrow.
