Hi,
I am trying to install 2 lantern type lights outside of my porch. I am planning on running this from a light inside the porch.
When I looked at the wiring going to the porch light I got confused!
This is what I have:
2 red wires coming from my hall light to the porch light
A red wire and a black wire coming from a switch into the porch light
The red wire coming from the switch is wrapped together with one of the red wires coming from the light in the hall.
The porch light wires connect to all of that.
Now my new stuff:
1 light switch
2 lantern style lights
lots of wire - it's grey covered inside there is a black wire, a red wire and a copper wire.
Please could someone explain how I can add a switch which will control these lanterns using the wiring already in place.
Many thanks for your help.
