I removed the incandescent lamp and the new lamp stopped working thus proving your deduction.  Well done you certainly know your electrics.  I have now found the supply before the 2 way circuit and will tap into that in series to see if that gives me two independant lights.

I removed the incandescent light and the new one would not switch on as you predicted, congratulations on understanding the wiring pictures and deciphering my conundrum.  Not sure what to do now (I definitely do not wish to have both lights on at once).  I have located the supply to/before the...

Thanks for all your replies, will take the fluorescent light out and see what happens.  Then I will call an electrician.  Thanks again.

Attached are the pictures as requested. Due to their size will attach two with this post and two with a following post. The schematic distribution block I posted previously showed a lamp.  That lamp is my new fluorescent tube controlled by a new single circuit switch which I think is fitted in...

This attached diagram shows how I wired the new light in.  Hope that helps.  Just to repeat, the new light is a small twin fluorescent and the existing one is an incandescent bulb.  Please note that the incoming feed line has a fourth cable (probably to enable dual switching on the existing...

Unfortunately I cannot find a way of including a photo possibly as this is my first post.  Can an administrator please waive this restriction so that I can include some pictures?

Thank's for your prompt replies.  Will take some pictures tomorrow 9th October.  The new light comprises small dual fluorescent tubes.  The original light is old type incandescent bulb.  Am pretty sure I linked the new one in series.  One other point is that I cannot turn both lights on at the...

I have done this using a 4 gang block but have found that the the original light glows dimly when I manage to switch the new fluorescent light on via its one switch.  I wish to use the lights independantly but there is some appears to be leakage to the original light.  A simple circuit diagram...
