Adding more outside lights to same switch inside

[RomeoPat]

Hi. I have an outside porch light which has a switch just inside the hallway. I am adding 2 more outside lights to be switched on using that same switch. I have ran 1mm cable from the switch line and neutral & earth to the new light and continued that to the 2nd new light. When I switch the light on using the porch switch it comes on but it turns off after 5 seconds. Any help?

Are you sure you've connected to the switched live and neutral

Hi mate and welcome to the forum.
Temporarily wire the second (new) light to the first (existing) light. If it switches on and stays on, like the first light then that rules out the new light being faulty. You then that to look at the way you did your original wiring.
