The house we are in doesn't have looped wiring connections in ceiling roses (upstairs). Each light pendant has one T&E going back to the switch/wall plate.
In the wall plate, there are 3 T&E's - the black wires connected together in one chock block. On the switch itself, there are two red wires going into what is marked as "loop", the 3rd red wire is on the switch side.
Question I have, I want to extend the circuit to have a two gang switch that can control a fan independently of the light pendant.
I don't know if the above seems unusual, but is it a case of feeding a 4th T&E to the wall plate, replace the 1 gang switch with 2 gang, connect all 4 black wires together in a chock block, and the 4 reds into the switch (two being loop, the other two being switched)
If it was a "normal" ceiling rose, I think I could figure it out, the way the "loop" is terminated at the wall plate is confusing me.
Thanks
