Add light switch to an fused socket with 2 light switches

[dicanio]

Hi,

I have a fused socket which is feeding one garage light, with switches front and back of the room, and I'd like to add another switch to run an external light, if possible?

Could you guys help me out with what I should what out for/do to add the additional, separate light switch please?

Thanks!!!

By fused socket i take it you mean a switched fuse unit? You can take a seperate feed to run a light BUT This will require notification under Part P of building regs as it is an outside light .
