I have an outdoor switch operating 2 lights in the alleyway.
There's a live cable feeding the switch, then a cable gong to light 1 and from there another going to light 2.
I want to add a third light on the opposite side of the switch.
So normally I would link the last light to the new one, but that's 20 metres away, when the switch is only 3 metres away.
Can I add a cable in the switch to operate this third light together with the existing 2?
Thanks
