two lights on one switch

[Stufran]

hi everyone

Just require some feedback on a lighting project.

I have a flurescent light fitting in our kitchen and i am looking to replace it with two spotlight fittings that work on one switch.

As far as i can see there are two methods for doing this.

1. Run the power in and power out to the first fitting along wih the switch and then spur off to the second fitting.

2. Run the power in and power out to a three terminal junction box. Spur off that to a four terminal junction box containing the switch, then feed to the first fitting and from there to the second.

Off the two i prefer no 2, but what i need some clarification on is that i was under the impression you cant run a spur from a spur. and the second fitting in this method is a "spur" from a "spur"

Hi Stufran,

welcome to uhm

spurs from spurs relates to sockets only and what you suggest in 1. above is fine and it is often done this way
