For that, all you need is a single circuit, so just run it like any other circuit, except for using direct burial NM cable. If you need 2 circuits, then you can set it up as a multi-wire branch circuit with 4-wire cable, such as 12/3.




I think you mean UF cable.

Just don't let someone in the house get your attention out in the shed by flipping that 3 way switch. Very unnerving if the lights blink at the wrong time.

I've had that happen in my basement shop. Very unnerving.

Especially when running a saw.

I've got everyone trained now, though.

You're correct, but I didn't want to use the wrong acronym without confirming it first (yes, I am LAZY). So instead I said "direct burial....NM", which is Non-Metalic, direct burial cable, aka, UF.

NM does not mean "romex". It is the generic designation for all non-metalic sheathed cable.
