Hi guys,
just had a go at doing this and have a little problem with the bulb on the 2nd light keeps blowing.
Have connected it as follows
3 Brown cables in connector block
3 Earth in connector block
New light in L1
old light in L2
Switch in Comm with a loop between the 2 comm connections
Have changed the new and old light between L1 and L2 but still blown.
the only thing i can think of is that the old connection was wired wrong and the switch cable went in the L1 point and the light cable went in the comm piont.
Would this make the bulb blow?
**old message**
hi,
looking for a little advice. I have one light at the back of my attic and have 1 switch by the ladders. I would like to add another light at the front of the attic hatch and change the switch into a 2 gang switch.
Would it be best to come off the new 2 gang switch or add a junction box in?
