I'm a little stuck! I have a light in my kitchen which works fine. I want to add another light at the other end. To achieve this, I have been able to run cable from that other end back to the switch box for the original light. I cannot draw live feed from the ring as it is not accessible without destroying stuff!
I have tried connecting the cable from the new light directly into the back of the old one. However, this bridges the switch completely and creates a valid live circuit for the new light when the switch is off (curiously when the switch is on, that light goes out and the original light comes on - I thought the new light would always stay on?).
Anyway, saw the mistake there and tried adding a 2nd switch (both are 1 way switches). Ran a mini-cable common to common and L1 to L1. Still a similar effect to the first time, but with both switches.
How can I make this work so that either one switch makes them both come on together or two switches control them independently. The only live feed I can take is from the switch spur on the original light. Is this one botch too far?
