I wish to install a small pendant light, controlled via switch, above the kitchen sink. This will be a new install, since there is no light there now. There is a grounded receptacle on the wall nearby in the same general vicinity where I would like the switch to be. Would it be permissable to have my electrician tap into the receptacle as a way to provide power to the switch and light? I am aware that ungrounded receptacles would not allow this, but is it OK to add an item (switch/light) to the circuit if it is indeed a grounded circuit? The circuit in question has ample capacity to accomodate the additional light.
If this is doable, what would be the acceptable, or "best practice," way to wire the switch, light, and receptacle in this instance.
Thanks for anyone's input.
