I want to add extra lighting in to a room which currenlty has a single ceiling rose.
The wiring is in-loop and contains 3 red, 2 black and one S/L

I want all lights to come on using the same existing switch and S/L that is in existing ceiling rose.

Can someone please advise.

Thx

Run a twin & earth cable, of the same size as existing, from the s/l, n and earth of the existing ceiling rose to the new fitting. Connect directly to the bulb terminals and all should be well
 
Thanks.

I assume this means that all extra lights on the same switch are wired in parallel?.

Will try at the weekend and let you know if anything goes 'bang'

Yes the two fittings will be wired in parallel with a single switch
