Outdoor Motion Light powered from Indoor outlet
Hello everyone - looking to tap into an outlet on a 15 amp breaker within a room in my house that doesn't have any devices plugged into the room.This outlet will be used to feed power to a security light. The light fixture will be outside right behind the new outlet which will be changed to a outlet switch combo. The light fixture will be attached to the vinyl siding of the house. The new outlet switch combo will be inside the house. The distance between the outlet switch combo and the fixture is about 8-10 inches. I want the new outlet to always be on and the switch to control (on/off/dusk to dawn settings) the security light outside. The security light will be 110 volts and 30 watts. The old outlet had two black wires on the right side and 2 white wires on the left (I think that it fed power to another outlet). After I removed this outlet this is how I plan on doing the connection. Does this seem ok?
