If I read your instructions close enough, you mention that you put the switch on the ground wire? In other words, you daisy-chain the power to all three lights directly, and you interrupt the ground wire only at the switch? For some reason I always thought that the switch goes on the power wire and the ground stays constant.

Just looking for some insight before I make the plunge.

For reference, I will be installing these components:
  1. LED panels in all three spots: http://ebay.to/2o4Qj3Q
  2. Two prong sockets: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...132360043~oeb/
I haven't done this, but in electronics you're always supposed to switch the hot wire. Reason being that you can always ground against something by accident, but if there's no power going to the device then you're fine.
