Hello

I have a ceiling light and two wall lights in the lounge. We've had the house rewired several years ago and the G9 bulbs keep blowing. I must have changed several of them and I'm just fed up with it. Sparky says it's the fittings, not the wiring causing this. He fitted the 3 brand new fittings.
Anyway, I've decided to do away with the wall lights and just have a dimmable single ceiling light fitting. I have one switch currently which is two way, operating wall lights and ceiling light.
Is it simple enough to change over the switch?
Do I need to do something with the wiring at each wall light?
Should I just get a sparky in?! If it's too complicated then I may resort to this option.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: The ceiling light fitting would be LED, not G9 bulbs
 
Do you mean 2 way or 2 gang switch for both? Some leds are not suitable for dimming so you would need to establish if the ceiling light is or isn't.
The wall lights would need to be disconnected and insulated at both ends presuming it is a 2 gang not a 2 way.

Thank you, it's a 2 gang switch, operating both the ceiling light and wall lights
