Sparky? Need wiring advise?

Question

Hi i have recently fitted a studded wall in the bedroom creating a walk in warbrobe. I want to feed a new light in that area. I have looked at the exsisting wiring in the bedroom and it is an old system. There are 3 wires connecting to the live (None of which are permament lives) and one red wire which could be earth or neutral. I have wired my lights to a switch and from the switch have fed twin core and earth cable into the attic space. Where is the permanent live on theses systems so i can wire my new light in?

Answer 1

Need more info. Where are the three wires ? switch/ceiling rose ? What color are they. How do they connect to the existing light ?

Answer 2

sounds like you have a system where the live is looped through the switches as apposed to the ceiling rose.

so assuming all the permanent lives are looped through the switches, you have to take your feed from a switch to the switch you want to use and loop from the switch to the lamp and back.

Edit sorry fro the reedit I'm shattered to day and having a difficult time articulating
