Advice to convert 2 lights/2switches to 2 lights/1 switch

[keich]

Hi,

In my bedroom I have 2 lights and each is connected to its own 1 gang switch box. I want to keep the lights and just one of the switches so that both come on at the flick of just one switch. Both lights and switches are wired up to a monster junction box which has 10 cables coming in/going out. Due to the junction box being so busy I don't want to disturb it anymore than I have to so I am after some advice as to what would be the best way to proceed. Within the box itself both lights and switches sit side by side. Could i just put in a small loop wire and then take out the second switch cable?

Thanks in advance

a switch has a live and a switched live (not counting earth)

you need to connect both switched lives to the same switch.

assuming they are not in the same place find the other end of the cable in this junction and do it there. diiscconec the live to the now redundant switch too.
levae the cable so its there when you want to change it back
