Power new light switch from existing light switch

[leescortxr3i]

Hi all. Hope everyone's well.
I'm wanting to add a second lighting circuit to my bathroom controlled by a different switch (this will be for LEDs). I've bought a touch control switch which lets me choose colours/brightness etc. I'm planning to locate the new switch on the wall just below the existing light switch so my question is this if someone could offer advice - can I power the new light switch using a short cable link from the power feed terminals on the existing switch above? (I've got a three core feed into the existing switch).
I've attached a photo below of the new switch and the wiring diagram which just calls for a live and neutral into it.

Many thanks.
Regards,
Lee

Do you have a Neutral at your present light switch?

Better to add that Blue ( or Black ) wires in the switch are most likely to be a Switched Live and most un-likely to be a Neutral

Hi thanks for your reply. Yes I have a neutral feed into the light switch...

Then, yes, you can connect L & N to the new switch.

Thanks. So would it just be a case of running two individual strands from existing switch to new switch, I.e neutral-neutral and live-live? I take it I wouldn't need to keep them together in the grey coating with an earth strand? Or would I? sorry if that's a mega stupid question

Yes, but there is no neutral at the existing switch - just in the connector with the blue wires.
Plus the appropriate brown from the feed cable.

Strictly speaking it should be a piece of cable with sheathing (grey coating) as it will be going from one backbox to another - so not a stupid question

Oh, and you don't really need the earth wire.

Normally the earth wire should never be cut but as it will be only a few inches and easily replaceable should it ever be needed, you may as well pull it out.

Others might disagree.

Great thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
