[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 561683, member: 250"] Sounds a perfectly reasonable method to me? The only word of caution when extending off looped in & out lighting circuits.. Is make sure you have correctly identify a permanent live cable.. Not Live & Switched live cable looping off to a light switch.. I have had to correct DIY alterations before where a customer had tried to supply a new light off a switch cable.. mistakenly assuming that all cables had a live and neutral! Side Note:- If you are not aware, WAGO connectors are your best friend when doing wiring alterations.. e.g. [URL]https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Wago_Connectors/Wago/index.html[/URL] (numerous other suppliers are also available.. google is your other friend) But basically don't faff around with outdated screw-terminal junction boxes!
