Hi I am new to the forum I am currently rewiring my house and I have nearly completed (finally) but I am wishing to install two lights with pirs on the exterior of the house. I am having a normal switched outside light. But I also want two lights with PIRs to both come on when either is triggered. Can I have info on how to wire these and which cable I will need? I will also be feeding the lights from a SFCU and help would be greatly appreciated cheers

Hi Dave,
depends on the type of lights you have purchased, if there are 3 terminals (excluding earth), Live , Neutral and switched (maybe marked up as L1) then maybe, you would have to put a triple+e in between the fittings. IF not, u could get two seperate PIRs and two light fittings

As above switched supply goes to the other lamp and vice versa.

I am believing that you clue have not and electrician qualified consult should. Further, I am thinking that DIY DAVE you are and that LABC consultationing should considered be in order to make sure safety is paramount. If doubt is in then an electrician of qualification should be consulting. Funerals less expensive than electricians are, also more traumatic. Please be telling me how testing you are?

how i would do it is from FCU, T/E to a switch. then a 4 core flex to 1st PIR. ( L,N, SW). then a 4 core flex to 2nd PIR. then take a 3 core flex to each light from each PIR.
