[QUOTE="SXFOXSTAR, post: 493144, member: 32408"] So I have a loft with no lighting. However all of the upstairs light cabling is visible and I have a basic understanding of electrics so assume it is relatively easy to install a junction box off of an existing cable and install a switch to one maybe two bulbs at the apex. I however wanted to ensure I did this correctly so wanted some advice. I link to an existing connection that has broken in the hope this may help with any advice. So my questions are, I assume I will need a junction box, a switch and cabling to a socket. Can you advise what size amp etc I would need to use and switch type as basically want the cable in one side and out the other mounted ON a beam ie not in the beam.
