i have a single 2 way light switch (wired up to another 2 way switch to control a particular light elsewhere). I would like to add a new separately switched light very close (within 2 feet) to the 2 way light switch (I just need more light in that area which is a little cubby hole under the stairs).
Is it ok to swap the single switch for a double switch (wiring up one side as before) and then spur off that switch to the "new" second switch (right next to it) and then run the new light?
I hope this makes sense. As it is under the stairs and the exisiting bulb and other circuits are a fair distance away this seems the most practical.
If it is then any notes on exactly how to connect up would be appreciated.
Thanks
