2 Lights one feed

[Just1Taylor]

Hi,

I need a bit of advice, we have light over the front door which I assume feeds of off the porch light as they come on at the same time. My Saturday job (designated by the wife!) Is to take the outside light off and use the feed for 2 lantern style lights each side of the door. My question is:

When I take the outside light off I think I will have one wire with the earth, live and neutral. Will that feed 2 and would I just need a junction box?

Thanks in advance

Justin

If there is just earth, live and neutral then yes you could put in place a junction box to connect the two new lights. I would recommend a suitably IP rated box with suitable cable glands. As you are installing additional lights there is now a requirement in domestic properties for it to have additional 30ma rcd protection.
