Bill, you get the credit for the fact that I now use #14 for lighting loads...

Heck, someday I might even use #14 for convenience receptacles (but a 15A breaker makes them "less convenient" in my opinion, subject to callbacks when the circuit is "overloaded"...)

Tom, I like the SPDT switch idea (not really a 3-way in that usage) for the nite-lite.

I had a call back once where I had to install a stacked (duplex) switch at a $7 loss because the Owner didn't want the 7W bulb burning 24-7.

Wish I had thought of the SPDT thing then...

The last few I've installed didn't have the nite-lites...(?!?)
