Greetings! I am seeking the advice from a more experienced electrician. I have removed a ceiling fan from my living room that had a separate on/off switch for the fan and the light. It has been changed to a regular flush mount light (i.e. one black, one white, and ground wire). Is there anything I can do with the old second switch (red wire) such as run power for a nearby recessed light, or is something like this not possible?

Thanks in advance!

Zewe yes but it would still be a switch. You would still have to pull a 14/2 with ground romex from the existing light to the new light fixture and if you had an accessible attic. My advice to you is hire a licensed electrician and good luck
