I'm a little stuck! I have a light in my kitchen which works fine. I want
to add another light at the other end. To achieve this, I have been able to
run cable from that other end back to the switch box for the original light.
I cannot draw live feed from the ring as it is not accessible without
destroying stuff!

I have tried connecting the cable from the new light directly into the back
of the old one. However, this bridges the switch completely and creates a
valid live circuit for the new light when the switch is off (curiously when
the switch is on, that light goes out and the original light comes on - I
thought the new light would always stay on?).

Anyway, saw the mistake there and tried adding a 2nd switch (both are 1 way
switches). Ran a mini-cable common to common and L1 to L1. Still a similar
effect to the first time, but with both switches.

How can I make this work so that either one switch makes them both come on
together or two switches control them independently. The only live feed I
can take is from the switch spur on the original light. Is this one botch
too far?
