Adding wall lights

[Loky11]

Hi chaps,

I'm wanting to add a couple of wall lights in my dining room, which currently only has a single pendant which is wired through a junction box some where, now do wall lights require a neutral? If so what's the easiest way to get a neutral to switch? I know I will have to swap the current 1 gang switch for a 2 gang switch obv. Thanks.

No need to be so harsh Tel Loki 11 has got the picture I'm sure, although I will be keeping an eye on him in the future, lol. May need to speak with Parents during Parents evening, hope they are nice people lol.

I'm glad we can have a laugh about it,

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.

Has Buz been influencing you, Pete?

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?
