wiring an outside light

[manxcat03]

I have a blank in the kitchen, does this mean that there is already power and that all I need to do is change the front to a switch and it will work?

Good way to start would be to ......look behind it

Just about totally meaningless.

Do you mean there is already a cable from the blank in the kitchen to the outside light position?

Is there already an outside light?

What is the wiring behind the 'blank'? (don't do anything dangerous here, if in doubt send for an electrician)

Is it live? (don't do anything dangerous here, if in doubt send for an electrician)

What circuit is the wiring behind the 'blank' on? (don't do anything dangerous here, if in doubt send for an electrician)

What type of switch would you use?

MORE information REQUIRED.

change the front to a switch and it will work?

Mind if you do that it may switch everything off.
