Hi everyone,

I was looking for a bit of advice on removing and exterior light. 

The light is operated by a double switch in the hallway. The other switch controls the hallway light. Would it be possible to disconnect the exterior light from the switch and continue using the same switch to peer the hallway light? There is also another switch in the hallway which controls the hallway light.

Cheers

 
The neutral could be hard to trace. Likely places include behind the switch, behind the hallway light ceiling rose,  or in an underfloor junction box. Simple option fit a small waterproof junction box where the disused lamp was and terminate the wires in that.

The other advantage of that is it's really easy to fit another light if you change your mind later.
