Thank you for that, it was a great help. I don't normally get that lucky to find a abandoned switched line. That made my weekend a lot easier thanks again

Two switches on wall one with black one with red both go to fan connection box. Black is wired to fan turning both fan and light on with first switch which the fan/light is then operated by a remote. The red wire connected to the second switch is capped off at the fan box. I have a new low voltage fixture I want to hang about 10 ft. away. I would like to utilize the unused switch that is already wired the the red wire in the fan box. Can't I add a leg to neutral and ground and connect new legs and red wire to a 10 ft. run on 12-2 to get switched power to new location.

If ceiling fan has two switches on the wall but only one is used in fan housing (black is wired to fan and light so one switch turns on fan/light and a remote determines the use and red is capped and 2nd switch is inoperable) can I use that feed(red wire) with shared neutral to wire another fixture (6-10ft away) so I can utilize the unused switch
