    PIR security light works in reverse

    I've just changed the bulb in an outdoor PIR security floodlight (to LED). But the light stays on by default, and turns off when I go outside. I don't think there is a control to "reverse" its mode of operation.

    If i've got a light with one cable, and its switch has one cable, how is it wired?
