Hi
I have an existing flood light, powered via a three core & earth (1.5mm) and it's switched.
I want to add two more lights, one for the side and one for the front.

Out of the two plans, which is the better one?
One cable out...

Afternoon all
I’ve just hooked up a couple of quinetic switches (one being the in line built-in receiver, QURS1W) to a (Vtac) 50w LED floodlight and part of the array remains dimly lit when it is switched off. Now it more than meets the minimum wattage (5w) so i’m assuming it’s a simple...
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has a preferred brand of outside LED flood light (30watts with PIR sensor) Replaced a dud Screwfix brand jobby (LAP) like for like a couple of months back and the thing packed up before Christmas. I've been asked to source the replacement this time around and...
I put it up myself just 2/3 years back. Suddenly, out of the blue, when triggered it it flashes on/off/on/off repeatedly for the prescribed on period. Knowing why it does that would be nice but either way I presume it's dead/dying and needs replacing. It's on the wall adjacent to the bedroom...
Customer wants a Dusk 'til Dawn only 50W+ flood light.
Currently he has the normal stand alone photo cell with a standard LED flood but is complaining that "its either one or the other" that goes and he would rather the photo cell be replaced with a JB and have a flood mounted sensor, but no...

That has confused me a little as the old lamp had the black wire going into the...

Hello, i am having issues wiring my garage... i am running my lighting circuit. First, i wanted to run my power feed from the panel, to a junction box (which will split towards a motion activated flood light that is continuously powered, split to the garage door opener, and split to a switch...
I'm looking at installing an imported IP65 LED floodlight with CE rating on the back of my house. I guess that IP65 + CE makes them relatively safe. This one has a cable gland and 0.5 meter vinyl jacket cable coming out of the back. Here's a photo of the back of this light, from the dealer's...

Then the main feed had 4 wires...

Having a lot of trouble sourcing a 30W led flood with pir that I can reflex with an additional core to bi-pass the pir.
Ideally it would be great if the flood came with this "bi-pass wire" but cant source anything that isn't sealed.
Has anybody been down this road?
Can anybody...
