Discuss Wiring lights, help heeded please in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Ideally you want to pull the cables back up into the loft and do a junction box and just drop a single cable down for the new light...

take an experienced sparks 30-35 minutes and about cost about 5 squid on a wago box and some wagos

55-60£ tops
 
Thanks for the replies and I'll look to be getting it sorted like suggested, in the meantime though is it acceptable to hook it up like I asked using the existing block and connecting the N and L wires from the new light into the N and L in the existing block? This is how the light I just took down was wired in and was fine.
