Hi folks,
I live in a new build property, when we moved in we had an outdoor light added by an electrician fed directly via a new cable from the consumer unit in 1.5mm T+E to a single light fitting (only thing on the circuit). There is no separate switch / fused spur & light is PIR - single cable out of the consumer unit to the fitting.
I want to add a second light along the same wall. Would it be worthwhile adding a switch to the existing cable from the consumer unit & feeding both lights from the switch (feed cable in, 2 supply cables out) or leaving the feed to the existing light alone and running a new cable from the existing light fitting to the new one (daisy chaining)? (Does it matter / any pros and cons?)
