    Hi, before I waste an electricians time by calling him out…

    I wanted to check if it is possible to add an independently switchable light to my landing, without having to have a cable run from the light switch downstairs (so I can avoid channeling into the wall etc.).

    The red is effectively the drop down light I want to add and the switch in blue is where I’d like to be able to turn it on and off from - separately to the other landing lights. Currently that is a switch of 3 - outside light, downstairs hallway lights and landing lights.

    No idea on electrics, so don’t flame me - I’m just asking if it is possible !

    Thanks in advance.

    You'd need another switch wire, very much doubt you'd have a spare core.
    If you have id have a go on the lottery ;)

    You can do it with wireless switches, I've never used one but I think its quite simple, someone will advise you soon.
