Dear DIYers,
It's been a few years since my last post, but since then all the DIY I've needed to do has been within my own limits so I've not needed your excellent help. However, I would like some simple advice on the following.
I have a single switch in the landing that operates a single light in the attic. I would like to add a second light - so that the switch operates both lights.
Presumably, I can "split" the cable and add a new length of cable (using a junction box?) with one length (re)connected to the existing light, and the other to the new, second light?
Or can I run a new length of cable from the existing light to the second light?
Additionally, it would be nice to add a third light (at the far end of the attic) which would be controlled by a switch in the attic - not the switch in the landing. Could I simply use the same method as above, with the cable running to the switch (and then a cable running from the switch to the light)?
So, now: switch >> light.
New: switch >> light >> light.
New (maybe): switch >> light >> light >> light with a switch.
If it helps, I can explain why I want to do this, but perhaps this is not needed. Many thanks for any help.
