Currently I have a one gang switch and a ceiling light in my dining room.
I wish to add wall lights and install a 2 gang switch to control ceiling and wall lights independently.
When I have investigated the wiring to take a link from the ceiling rose, I found the ceiling light is chocolate blocked a cable that runs to the light switch.
At the light switch, there a 3 cables. One to the ceiling light, and I’m guessing, one from the consumer unit and one going to the next room.
Can I add a 2 gang socket, take a live feed from the mains to the 2nd switch and run the wall lights from the switch?
Thanks
