Probably cant do this, have a look in the switch for a bunch of blacks or blues bunched up in a terminal block. If there isn't anything of that description, you dont have a neutral at the switch and need to take a feed from elsewhere. (Anything connected to the switch, regardless of its colour, IS NOT neutral)
