Adding wall lights

[Loky11]

But wouldn't that turn ceiling light and wall lightd on together? I'm wanting to turn them off/on individually.

Yes it would, first time you have mentioned that you wanted separate switching for ceiling and wall lights. you may have intimated that in your description of your wiring method, and maybe it should have been picked up, but never the less a quick mention on your part would have cleared up the mix up earlier, do you not think, young Jedi?

just what i was about to say.

what you could do is to replace the T/E switch cable from ceiling light to switch with a 3c/E. then T/E from switch to wall lights. then fit a 2 gang switch.

No you haven't Loki11, but not to worry eh? When asking questions it's usually best to state what you want, what you have and how to get over the problem, with of course your own suggestion, sorry to sound like a School Master. Loki11.

What do you mean?

Just got in. Sorry didn’t reply earlier.

I tried to look at your profile page to see what qualifications and experience you have to ascertain if you are electrically skilled enough to give advice too.
Your profile page has restricted access, so I couldn’t.

 

[Pete999]

What do you mean?

Loki11 there are lots of Folk that limit their Profiles, why I can't answer that it's a personal thing, for those that wish to help, find it difficult to provide answers if there are no details of quals, more importantly experience, very difficult to formulate an answer compatible with the questioner's question if we don't know the experience, or knowledge of the person asking the question, it's no being nosey or inquisitive, quite why people block their profile is unfathomable, we aren't all electrically proficient and there is no shame in admitting this, just helps with formulating an appropriate answer, that's all, hope that allays yours' and everyone else's' fears.

You could always take a S/L, N and CPC from the ceiling light, to your new wall lights, wont need to change the switch then.

I think the OP wants the wall lights to be independently switched Pete.

 

[Toneyz]

woun't get upsrt if I ude that

Has Buz been influencing you, Pete?

 

[Pete999]

I'm sure he does now he has told us, perhaps if he had made this clear at the start confusion would have been averted, don't you think?
