WIRING DIAGRAM LIGHT AND RECEPTACLE

As you can see, connecting a receptacle to the light would see the receptacle only hot when the light switch is on. Here is what you would have to do if possible, change out the 2-wire to 3-wire cable from switch to light. Again, no ground wires are shown in the diagrams just to avoid clutter so you can clearly see how the circuit works.
