Ceiling lights/switches Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

I have removed a light switch and wish to connect the ceiling light (which this operated) to another one that is up the other end of the room. Can I just 'add' the wires from the switch to the existing junction box in the loft that leads to the other switch?

not very clear, but if you just want to do away with individual sw. why is there another one at the other end of room? are they 2 way sw.? or was it 2 rooms b4?
u can prob. disconnect sw wire from light but will need to run new twin & earth between lights, more info please

The room was divided into 2 hence second switch. The room has been converted back to one and the 'second' switch has been pushed into loft space for me to retrieve. This is where I am unsure as to what wires I will have up in the loft and what wires need to go where - I am currently looking at book on ring mains for lighting circuits etc.
