My kitchen has two ceiling lights, one at either end, operated from single switch. I want to install a third fitting in the centre of the existing two, operated by same single switch (all three sittings work as one). How do I connect the wiring?
I know that bulbs / light fittings are situated across the switch live and loop-in circuit neutral connector blocks in the circuit, but are additional bulbs / fittings on same single switch added in series or parallel between these blocks?
Of the two existing lights, one appears to be a 'master', with full circuit connections evident behind its plate including switch live block, whilst the other 'secondary' firring has just a single T+E cable (which I realise could indicate last fitting on loop-in). As I just want to add a fitting to same switch, can I just add a T+E cable from the switch-live and neutral blocks of the ‘master’ to the live and neutral blocks of the proposed third fitting plate (parallel installation)?
Simple---- run another "white" wire off the white wire connection on either one of the other 2 fixtures ---- run another wire(might be red or another color-but never green)off the same fixture where the black wire is. Connect these wires to your new fixture---and use the bare/green wire as a ground--which can simply be twisted around a sheet metal screw and screwed in the metal frame. White to white >>>> Black to black >>> green/bare to same and/or frame ground. If your new fixture has only both black wires coming out of it -- just choose either one for the black, and the other for the white.
