Replacing a single light switch with a double light switch .

[DEEJAYKAY]

Hi

In my dining room I have two ceiling pendants at either ends of the room, both lights are operated by a single light switch!

My question is how easy would it be to install a double light switch to allow me to work each light independently of each other.

Any advice welcome.

It depends on how it is wired.

If there is only one cable at the switch -
you will require an additional cable from the switch to whichever of the lights contains all the wiring.

If there is more than one cable at the switch please post a picture of the wiring.
