2 gang switch?

[Palmerston5]

Hello,

I would like to wire a new light in the kitchen. There are already 9 low voltage downlighters in the ceiling which are operated by a single switch. I would like the new light to operate independently, but preferably from the same switch unit on the wall.

Am I right in thinking that the way to do this is to connect the new light to the mains circuit feeding the other kitchen lights, and then running a new switch cable down from the new light to share a new 2 gang switch with the existing lights?

Sorry if this question is dumb.

Thanks.

apart from the fact you forget to mention the new light, yes, you have it right

OOI - what wattage are the existing downlighters, what area do they cover, and why do you want to add a new light?
