Spur off of a lighting circuit

[Tiriana]

I have 4 mains halogen downlights in a bedroom and I want to put in a single LCD wall light. Can I simply take a spur off of the lighting circuit.

See attached picture of connections - I asuume that I will need change the terminal blocks for a small junction box or put in a chocbox enclosure.


The wall light has its own switch and I want to operate it independently from the ceiling lights so I know I have to connect to the main lighting ring.


Thanks for reading this and in anticipation of a response

First. lighting isn't on a ring, it's on a radial circuit.

Second. can you take a feed (spur) from it. Yes you can.

Third. any junction box must either be accessible for maintenance or be maintenance free (Wago connectors for one example) .

you say "The wall light has its own switch"

what exactly do you mean ? is there an existing wall light ? if so does it switch on/off with the downlights ?

Thank you. Understand its radial not ring. Great that I can spur off of it. Was going to take spur to a fused switch, but the light is a picture light with an integral pull cord switch. Junction (box) will be accessible (in the ceiling) in the same way as the terminal block is now.

Hope thats all okay.

Make sure all wiring is within "permitted zones" and complies with BS 7671...
