yup, dont worry i will be. thanks for your help. it sounds like this is exactly what the guy did...

I dont really understand what the 2 solutions that you give are... what is an FCU? If he has brought the wire from the main ceiling ring switch, then isn't the circuit already on the ceiling ring?

great, thanks Chri5. very helpful! it sounds like the floodlight is the main problem... do you know if they have energy saver bulbs that I can use in the floodlight instead? flameport, how is that even remotely helpful?

sorry, i dont understand... the ceiling has spotlights. it will be a huge problem to tap into the ceiling at this stage. But, there is a normal socket right next to the round pinned socket?
