GFCI Wiring

[CommanderDave]

Can anyone provide me a diagram of wiring a single sourced GFCI outlet to one other (non-GFCI) outlet and a light with a switch? Thanks!

Question: Are you attempting to protect the non GFCI receptacle and light after the GFCI receptacle?
If you don't want protection downline (such as to the non and switch/light after the GFCI) then wire line/line. If you want protection downline then wire line/load.

Line/Line means power going into line. Power going out to line
Line/Load means power going to line. Power going out to load.

It's that simple. Look at the back of the GFCI you are using. It will be indicated as to what is line and what is load.

Both the outlet and the switched light are GFCI protected. At the outlet the load side power (red wire and the switch wire can be terminated at the two screws of the outlet. Also goes for the black wire. HOWEVER, the colors are wrong for North America. The N lead (neutral) will be WhIte, The L (line-120v) will be black. Green is Ground.

Whomever did this drawing must only work in low voltage for LEDs. In low voltage and in electronics, black is usually ground (not a neutral) and red is 12 or 24 volts. The E in this drawing is for "earth" ground.
