In my kitchen I have 2 lights that seem to be on 2 different circuits one switch at each end of the room when I turn one side on the other side goes on ! And vice versa. (Not sure of the term)
I want to add a outside light(led 30w) for the rear of my garden and hoped I could piggy back off the switch at the back of the kitchen and add a switch/power for the outside light.
This simple/terrible diagram shows the lighting situation .
Any electricians on here can tell me if I can even do what I wanted to do ? I have had a try and obviously when I try and piggy back off the switches the kitchen lights turn on/off.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
im not sure how to add a picture on here will try to figure it out now thanks
