Piggyback off the box for the existing light. Run a wire from the existing junction box to a new junction box (which is placed wherever you want the new fixture). Then, in the existing box, connect the wire coming from the switch, the wire for the existing fixture, and the wire for the new fixture together using wire nuts. Wire up the new fixture, and presto, you have two fixtures on a switch where there was only one before.
To add another porch light to an existing switch, you can run a new electrical wire from the existing light fixture to the new porch light location. Connect the new wire to the new light fixture, ensuring all connections are secure and following proper electrical wiring guidelines. Test the new porch light to ensure it operates correctly from the existing switch.
Yes, you can run wiring from the location of your motion detector light and connect it to the wiring of your backyard porch light or an existing outlet. However, it's important to consider the electrical load capacity of the existing circuit and ensure that the wiring and connections are done properly for safety reasons. It might be a good idea to consult with a qualified electrician for installation to ensure it is done correctly.
Connect the black wire from the switch to the black wires of both lights. Connect the white wires together. Connect the red wire, if used for the motion sensor, to the black wires on the lights. Connect all ground wires together and to the ground terminal on the switch. Make sure to turn off power before connecting any wires for safety.
A row house porch is typically referred to as a stoop. It is a small staircase leading to the entrance of the home that is characteristic of row houses in urban settings.
Yes, you can use an indoor table lamp on a covered porch as long as it is protected from direct exposure to rain or moisture. Make sure the lamp is rated for outdoor use or keep it under a protected area to prevent damage and ensure safety.
It has been theorized that moths use the moon for navigation. Because the moon is far away enough that it is visible to the moth at all angles, it can guide the moth in a straight line. The moth, mistaking another source of light for the moon, tries to use it in the same way. The moth is not aware of the distance of the light, and gets too close to it, often a fatal mistake if the light source is a flame. However, it has also been theorized that moths are not attracted to light, but rather to darkness. The Mach band is an optical illusion in which the area around a bright light appears to be darker than everything else. Since moths believe that the dark is the safest place to be, they are drawn towards the Mach band, which, of course, is right next to the light.
If the porch light switch is the only outside item controlled y the switch bank inside the house, the porch light switch should be located the furthest from the door frame adjacent to which the switch bank is sited. The switch closest to the door should control the lighting in the room immediately adjacent to the door. In this manner, when entering the room from the outside in the dark, you merely toggle the nearest switch to the door frame to light the room - you don't have to reach around or over other switches. Switches controlling other internal lights should be sited in between. So, for a 2-gang arrangement, the switch located closest to the door frame controls the interior light and the other switch controls the porch light. For a three-gang arrangement, the middle switch would control another interior light. The only complication is that is if there are switches in the switch bank that control other exterior circuits, the porch light would be inboard of these and would not be the last outboard switch in the array. So, for a three-gang array in which two exterior lights are switched, the porch light switch would be the middle switch and the other exterior lights (sports, floods, landscape lighting, etc.) would be controlled by switches placed further from the door frame.

Read your governing documents to determine who owns the porch light. There is no standard.

Yellow porch lights are bug lights. By bug light I mean they are not supposed to attract bugs as bad as regular light bulbs.
