This Light Point and Plug Point Electrical Construction Method will be useful for you to understand and study electrical wire connections and conduct electrical practicals and projects at the college level. It will be useful for you to know electrical wiring and circuit wiring, to work with electrical wiring, and to understand and fix electrical wiring problems in your home.
Intention
First, you can try wiring like this on a wooden board or see
how wiring is done on the ceiling while wiring. This project will show you how to do it and set up the light and plug points.
To wire up a circuit consisting of a light and plug points.
Apparatus required
Pvc tubes-4
Couples-3
Switches-2
Plug point-1
Lamp-1
Lamp holder
Screws
Screwdriver
Hammer
Tester
Clips
Multimeter
Switchboard
Voltage source

Fix the PVC tubes with the use of couples and then screw
them using, screws and drivers in the wood board or ceiling block as needed. Take
one thick wire for the phase connection and connect it to the top terminal of
the switch (S1). The neutral wire is to be connected to one of the pins of the lamp
holder.
The other pin of the lamp holder must be connected straight
to the bottom terminal of the switch (S1). Now, fix the lamp (L) in the lamp holder. When the switch (S1) is switched ON, the lamp (L) will glow.
To operate a plug point, connect the phase wire to the top
terminal of the switch (S2). The switch's bottom terminal must be
connected to any one of the two bottom terminals of the plug point (P) to connect
the neutral wire to the other terminal. The top terminal may be left alone for the earth connection.
For checking the operation of the plug point (P) a lamp can
be plugged into the bottom two holders of the plug point and it will glow one
can check its operation with the use of a tester.

Outcomes
Wiring is done perfectly for lighting a lamp (L) with the
control of a switch (S1) and plug point. Controlling was done using another
switch (S2)
