I need to add some more lights. I don't have access to any of the existing ceiling roses but I've found a junction box with a spare terminal available. This isn't enough so is it safe to add a second junction box?

I understand that its common practice to get a feed from an existing celing rose but are junction boxes okay to use? I know that the ECC regulations say you cant extend a ring main using junction boxes, is there a similar rule for lighting?

What exactly are ECC regulations?

You are allowed to extend any circuit you like (including ring circuits) with a junction box, providing the junction box is of the correct current rating, and it remains accesible for inspection and testing purposes.
