    How to shut off 120v baseboard heater?

    I've planned a 20A circuit serving a tiny half-bath in a workshop. The circuit will contain a few LED ceiling lights, a receptacle (not for tools) and a 350 or 400W 120V baseboard heater. So it would not be convenient to shut off the heater via the main panel. When I'm not working during the...

    hi, first time here, and not an electrician, but hopefully someone might be able to help. Our electrician installed some outside wiring on a terrace a few years ago, terminating the cables in IP66 junction boxes so that we could put some lights in at a later date. That time has now come and I...
