Why does a single light switch need 4 neutral wires and 4 load wires running to the box, when on a standard switch only 2 of the load wires are used?
Agreed! I've been doing the same thing and its pretty sketchy getting those in some of the time. I usually just make sure everything is tight and no bare wires are showing then suck them back in with the screws
