Ok, I'm a dummy. I put 4 ceiling boxes on the same switch, now I want to
control them separately. What are my choices besides:



1.. rewiring
2.. pull chains


I considered the x10 stuff, but I don't really see a wire in module that
could sit in the top of the light fixtures. I may not have room for the
socket rockets.



thanks

Pull the wire. Just do it and get it over with.

no, no. don't make me do that. <LMAO>. i already have finished the
drywall and painting, and already have 4 switches at the top of the stairs.
<G> I'll probably just put pull chains on what ever fixtures we put up.
It's only a 7'4" ceiling, and it's our office and her sewing room. (in a
not fancy farm house we're re-doing).

thanks for the reply.
