Installing spot lights?

Question

I am installing spot lights into my bedroom ceiling, I want to run these lights off another supply, so I have two switches on the wall, 1 for my main light, 1 for the spots. How do I do this?

Answer 1

this is piss easy.

you can pull the supply from the light ring just like the main lights. you just need to fir a junction box to run the current to the switch (for the spot lights) before running it to the lights in parallel.

Answer 2

10-20 quid/spot labour only. Mostly depending on access from above You can't /shouldn't realistically switch that many from one rocker, so expect extra for that too. How old is the consumer unit/fuse box?. That may also need an upgrade...

Answer 3

Hire an liscensed Electrician if possible, if not search the internet as noone wants to assume responsibility if there is an accident.

Answer 4

It is a fairly easy job as long as you are confident with electricity. I was brought up doing this kind of thing, but i would hate to give out advice on such a dangerous job, other than get someone who knows exactly what they are doing to wire them up for you.

Answer 5
