I have track lighting in my walk-in closet and it is wired to an inconveniently-located switch outside the closet. I am wondering if I can connect a motion-activated switch right here at the connection box for the track light (near the ceiling).
This is the type of switch I will use: http://www.amazon.com/Cooper-Wiring...972&sr=8-3&keywords=motion+switch+fluorescent (the track lights are not incandescent). I would encase it in an external wall box so it looked neat.
Attached is a picture of how the track lighting is currently wired. It looks like I have hot, neutral and ground wires.
Questions: Can I do this safely? Would I need to connect the wall box to the track connection box pictured here (for grounding purposes)?
