Hi,
I've got a customer who has a LED floodlight, with PIR, who requires an override facility, rather than being on the normal 90 second time delay.
As the fitting is wired in the manufacturers 3 core flex, how can this be overridden?
It has been wired in 3-core & earth but, obviously, only...
Evening all,
Firstly I have zero experience working with solar installations so hopefully somebody can help me out?....

I have been trying to repair a 400w son-t floodlight which has the control gear at the base of the pole and just the lamphlder and lamp in the fitting at the top. The light would not work so in order 1: the lamp was replaced but no joy 2: the ignitor was replaced but no joy 3: the ballast was...
A question, I fitted a 10 W LED on my new shed and wired it through a relay controlled by a remote, to allow her in doors to switch it on if she wanted to get something from the shed in the dark, problem is the LED flashes when it's switched on, I reckon the problem is too light a load, not had...
Hi, I'm replacing my outdoor security light with a outdoor led flood light. My problem is there are 2 cables coming out the wall to my current security light and only 1 coming out the back of the new led flood light. I'm not great with wiring but don't really want to get a electrician in for...
Is there such a thing?

Hi
I am after some floodlights for domestic use - most of the ones I have found seem to be PIR.
I am looking for one that will work on PIR sensor but also allow manual permanent switching on and off from inside the house from a wall switch.
Does anyone know a product that can do this?
If I...
A friend has replaced PIR floodlight at home. The house is wired 16th edition so no RCD on the lighting circuit, which the outdoor light is connected to. Now current regs state,

Hi, just a quick one! I'm about to replace a halogen floodlight to a 10 Watt LED flood light, the switch inside the house has a pull out fuse under it, currently it's got a 13amp fuse in there, will that be OK for the new 10 watt LED light or should I put a 3 or 5 in there?
Thanks
Hi there,

It says on the page that they are suitable for 12VAC applications but I'm trying to run them from a DC...
I am trying to find out who the manufacturer of this fitting is? They are on a portable generator floodlight set.
Have a feeling it is Thorn, but nothing obvious on the units. Anyone seen them before? I need a replacement glass lens!
I have been asked to install a new floodlight to light up a plant hire companies yard as the one that is installed currently isn't bright enough. It needs to have a long life as it is in quite an awkward place to access for maintenance. I am unsure of the differences between sodium, metal halide...
Hello.
Just a quick question.
Got 8 140w led floodlights running on a B20 mcb. The lights come on through a mechanical timer but the customer says everytime the timer switches it trips the mcb. But they work fine when the manual switch on the timer is pressed. Can you run LEDs of a manual...
Is there is any reason why 2 way switching wouldn't work for a PIR floodlight taking into account the PIR setting and the manual override mode??Obviously it would be wired correctly!
Just yes or no. No abuse please!
Okay here's one for the trainees. The background is that a friend of mine has an electric fence system that's got 2 zones. If anything touches the electrified fence wires it sets off an alarm and a little 12vdc flashing beacon on top of the control box. There are 2 of these flashing beacon...

Would a metal halide floodlight work properly on a pir sensor? I think I would be better using a halogen floodlight instead but the customer has a spare mh handy
