the situation ; Commercial space; an octagon box that is fed by a single 15amp breaker that is currently wired to 1 LED fixture with a switch run coming off the octagon box,and a run from the octagon box to the fixture.
Want; add an outlet and a ceiling fan on a fan speed controller . I'm envisioning 3gang , surface mounted box(s) .one houses the existing light switch, additional for the fan controller & 15a receptacle . These boxes are perhaps 10' from the octagon box.
I was in Habitat today & they have a pc of 14/4 plus ground armoured cable that would be long enough . I'm thinking 1 each conductor for the existing light switch, 1 for the receptacle , 1 for the fan ,common neutral & ground . We have our electrician doing the work in a few weeks, but just curious if this would be proper. I like the clean look of 1 cable over several in this particular area .
hope I explained it clearly enough.
thanks all in advance
I think I goofed above. that would be 1 hot to power the outlet, fan, the light and neutral for the outlet
