I use round nail-ons too...that's not what I mean... Allow me to better explain myself...

switched leg: A complete circuit on the load side of a switch. (Complete with unswitched neutral.

switch loop: Hot on white (taped purple for me), switched on black.

Sometimes these definitions are interchanged, but this is the correct terminology.

What I mean is, split the jumpers up in a Junction box so you don't have but one hot leg per switch box. One line, however many loads as needed. Better than "daisy-chaining" and having crowded boxes. Then if you have to add lights later, there's a J box just waiting for an additional tap...

If this doesn't make sense, then I'm not explaining myself right...
