Two lights, One switch.

[leejohn]

In my sons bedroom a single switch on wall turns on two lights. One ceiling and one on wall.
Is it possible to control each light separately from their own switch ?

If possible how would they be wired ?

Thanks in advance. LeeJohn.

Either -

Supply to switch, then to lights - easy to do what you want, or

supply to ceiling light, separate cables to switch and wall light - more difficult, requiring additional wire from ceiling light to switch.


Post a picture of all the wires behind and connected to the switch.

Please don't try to do this by following "put-this-wire-in-that-hole" type of instructions without actually understanding why.
