Outside light fitting

[macca77]

Hi, need some help please, how do i wire an outside light to an existing internal light switch, i presume that i will need a 2 gang switch, so the light are independant to each other..

Unfortunately you need a neutral as well as a live to make the light work so unless you are lucky and there is a neutral at the switch you will have to find a neutral from the same lighting circuit from somewhere else

Many thanks, seems complicated to me, are there any wireless outside lights on the market..

Sorry, "wireless light" conjures up images of a "power transmitter" and "power reciever" as if you can now send power wirelessly

AHEM, i'll behave now. There are solar lights available, but they only emit a soft glow, the technology really hasn't developed yet.

Thathas been possible forsome years now via microwaves, however how would they meter and bill you, besides safety concerns etc?

Even if wireless electricity worked efficiently (or cost effectively) at present they would still Bill you in the same way, because the intake would still be hard wired.
