Wiring Residential
Residential electrical wiring question...?

I have a 15A 120V circuit that has a ceiling light controlled by an end-of-run-switch. At the switch box there is the ground wire, black wire and the white wire which is colored black.

I would like to install an outlet between the ceiling light and the switch that would also be controlled by the switch. Can this be done, and if so, what would the wiring arrangements be?

I have good access to where I want to install the outlet and could change or replace the wire between the outlet and the switch. Changing any of the rest of the wiring would be a real project though.

(As to my own abilities here, I've done a lot of straight-forward "barn" type wiring on my farm (outlets, 3- and 4-way switches, etc.) and understand what the black-colored white wire means in this situation. But I wouldn't presume to wire a house.)

Thanks!

from the fan box in the ceiling run a romex cable to the outlet so you have a hot, neutral and ground. the black wire coming from the fan box and going to the outlet should be tapped from the hot wire being controlled by/downstream of the switch and powering the fan, not the hot wire powering/going to the switch.

make sure your switch is rated for the amount of amps needed.
