Adding a cut in electrical outlet and 4' LED light to a wall in my workshop.

Pretty good Bryan, but there are several mistakes. 1. There's too much sheathing in receptacle and switch boxes, should only be about 1/2" and leaving about 6 to 7 inches of wire from there. 2. There's no ground wire on switch ground screw, should add a pigtail to correct that. 3. Three power wires to switch with one backstab. Should be pigtailed, no backstab. 4. Break off ears on receptacle yoke to fit recess in old work box. 5. Switch box is recessed exposing wood panel, add plastic box extension to remedy. This is a code violation. 6. Electrical connection screws should be tightened by hand (screw driver) or ideally torqued with a torque screw driver, using an ECX or Robertson #2 bit. No drill driver.

Thanks for the input. I'll be sure to address those items.

@In_The_Shop Thanks for the reply and I appreciate you being a good sport who can take constructive criticism, one never knows.

As well as he ran 14 gauge to the other outlet while there is 12 gauge running to the switch. Makes me think it may be a 20A circuit

It’s actually a 15 amp
