The wiring of a light switch is shown in its entirety, from the panel to the switch to the light fixture. PLEASE NOTE, since this video was published, the NEC and CEC now require a neutral conductor to be in every outlet box. This eliminates the code compliance for a 2-wire switch leg (loop) drop. This configuration must now utilize a 3-wire to facilitate compliance. Check out this video for a more comprehensive explanation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnlHCiRN_RU&t=47s
