I want to replace one ceiling light with two lights fed from the same junction box both operating from the existing light switch (so they both come on at the same time)
I can replicate the wiring for one of the lights but for the other is it ok simply to add it to the junction box with the live and neutral coming from the same connections as the first light.
Also the new cable to the lights from the junction box includes an earth but the light fitting doesn't (old fitting connected by earthed flex). Can I simple put the spare earth into a separate block at the light?
Thought this was OK but after reading some of the posts here I'm now unsure. Thought it better to check.
hope this is enough to go on
thanks in advance
