Outside Light Install

ukbill69

I have an outside light that covers the front door, but want to add an addional one for the rear garden. Could I connect a power cable together in the front door light and add another light to the end?

Thats what Im asking really, I dont know if the power cables can handle two lights.

It's outside so any alteration to the wiring comes under the realms of Part P building regulations...which basically means get an electrician! Will also likely explain why you haven't had much response as yet.
It's possible to link the two but the same switch would be controlling both light - which might not be what you want. Always best to keep outside wiring to a minimum as standard electric cable is susceptible to degradation outside. As i said though get an electrician in to give you a quote.
