Kitchen Wall-Light

[Aberdeen1981]

Afternoon everyone.

Currently redoing my kitchen and there is a wall lamp (like the top of a cheap desk light) attached to the wall at about head head.

Really want this to go and wonder what would be required with the cabling?

The light currently has it's own switch (3 switches for lights in the kitchen -Main, under cupboard and the lamp) and if possible I'd like to reduce this down to only 2 switches.

If you want to remove it then you will need to either put a blank plate or similar in its place, terminating the wiring (you can't just bury the end of the wire in the wall, without disconnecting it somewhere else first, otherwise there's nothing to indicate to someone they shouldn't drill there etc), or disconnect the wire at both ends, and either bury the end in the wall, or if you're redoing the kitchen anyway it might be better to rip it out totally (depending on how it's installed).

As for disconnecting it, that depends how its wired - pictures of behind the light and behind the switch would help, it's also quite possible there is a hidden junction box somewhere (e.g. above the ceiling - while there shouldn't be one under the regs unless the area is accessible, it's very common to find them unfortunately).

I was looking to tile over where the light currently sits so a blank plate wouldn't work.

Looks like it's either remove it or or disconnect both ends like you say.

I'll try to take some photos tonight and post them up.

Thanks for your help.
