Fitted some new wall lights into my existing junction box that powers the ceiling spotlights already fitted in my kitchen..
I took a black and earth from the junction box and wired it to my new lamps,then took the live from the junction box, wired it into a new switch then into the lamps and they worked..
But the problem i have is that the new lamps will only work when the ceiling spotlights are on,i can then turn the new lamps on or off,but if i turn the ceiling lights off they won't work..
Is it because the live feed is a switched and is there a work around without ripping house to pieces ..
Cheers
