There's no problem with doing that, code wise (so long as you do code-compliant wiring). The main thing you'll probably have to contend with is that you've got power to all lights now from 1 place and you're going to have to run new supply lines from that one source location to each new set of lights/switch. Not a problem, but you'll have to sort it all out. The diagrams asked for will go a long way to getting you help in doing this. | |
