I have an outside light. This feed from a light switch. It's 100w
I would like to add a second light to the circuit in parrell.
Is that okay to do if I take the feed from the existing outside light

Yes.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

as long as you realize parallel means a second light exactly copying the first and will never be other than duplicate without further wiring to separate functions
