    Do you want 2 separate lights on 2 switches?
    If just adding a second light from that switch, you need to connect to the existing light, the switch is part of a switch loop.
    Can you get additional wires to switchbox from Power? If so, the switchloop could be rewired as the switchleg and neutral from the existing switch, then you could have a pair go to the new light.
