Discuss Adding a light to loop at switch and change to 2 gang switch in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

Thanks for everyone's help, really appreciate it. Just had a look and both connectors are Wago with 4 slots, so that's lucky! On my proposed diagram the first light will be the original ceiling rose, and the second light cable needs to supply two wall lights. Am I okay to use a three terminal junction box in order to split this single cable into two in order to supply the two wall lights? Or would this not be appropriate?
 
Here is a diagram to illustrate my thoughts... Many thanks.

Yes it is fine. If the junction box is going to be rendered inaccessible then the connections need to be maintenance free.
