In my utility room I have a line which feeds a light and runs to a switch on a wall that controls on and off.
In that run I want to add a motion light to the outside wall. I of course don’t want to have the motion light controlled by a switch.
How do I do that ?
I’m thinking I just need to splice in before the light and than run it out to the light
I’m I thinking it out right ?

I see a receptacle beside the switch so I think power is probably available there.
I see a line going out of the light box. If there is not another light on the switch then you probably also have power available there.
