I wonder if any helpful electrician could throw some 'light' on this question I have regarding changing the switching configuration of my current external lighting setup?
I currently have two external PIR sensor halogen flood lights (150w) that are controlled from a 4 gang light switch in the...
Hi there.
Can somebody advise on this situation with the latest wiring regs and whether an RCD is required at the CU.
New PIR lights required front and back of house. There is a ring main socket at top of stairs which has space next to it for a 3amp FCU. Plan would be 1.5mm twin and earth in...
Hey Guys!

Hi all, need to replace a failed 500w halogen PIR floodlight. This one was a dual output model that had an adjustable dimmer on the PIR housing for setting night time dusk to dawn illumination but switched to full brightness when it detected motion.
Has anybody come across an LED floodlight with...
A short while ago someone asked about having two PIR lights linked so they both act as one. In my reply to that thread I mentioned something cryptic about having separate switches to enable them and to select the linking action.
Well here is a diagram of what I meant, as drawn up for a site...
Hi, I want to install 2 led pir floodlights directly from consumer unit and for them to work together when either sensor is set off. Can I run a cable to the first light (L,N,E) and then from the first light to the second light the same (L,N,E) and then run another cable from L1 to L1 on either...

Hi all
I have been asked to do some outside lights with a PIR and an override switch inside.
I believe the best way is to run from consumer unit L + N to switch and then a 3 core to sensor (PL,SL and N) and then SL & N to lights. Someone has already ran the SWA cable outside (under the...
Hi there,
Is anyone familiar with the Epsom LED PIR Twin Floodlight 18w you get from Screwfix? I installed one last week, and worked fine.
Installed two new ones today for a client, and they are not working. It states in the manual to mount 1.8m to 2.5m off of the ground and i have to...
Hi chaps,
Went to look at a job tonight in my town - client has an existing photocell sensor doing her outside lights with from what I can see is a three core and earth feeding it. As it's difficult getting back into the home for power, they asked if it was possible to get power from the...
Hi,
Firstly, I'm not an electrician, I am just here to look for advice from you friendly people.
We've just has some PIR lights fitted at the side of our house and a security floodlight at the back. We're really disappointed with the way the work looks.
We bought the lights and separate PIR's...
As I'm bit bored here, I've been thinking about some out door lighting, but not to flood light the area. I've seen somewhere a few years ago, possibly on TV, whereby the customer had some discrete bollard type lighting which lit up the area sufficiently(soft lighting) but when someone activated...
Hi All,
My friend and l have just installed a pir sensor outside light, with indoor switch to isolate it during the day.
As it was quite dark as we finished, l noticed that two of our customer's other two pir outside lights (both on permanent live circuits) were flickering and the one we...
I recently installed two outside lights, both the same, each having a built-in (non-adjustable) PIR. They are on the wall of a 'garden house' wooden building. They are on the same end wall, about 3m apart.
When the sensors detect heat/movement at night, both of the fittings flash on and off...
Any reason why you can't put two PIR lights in series in close proximity?
Need to put 2 porch lights in each with a PIR. I wont come across any probs will I?
Hi all
my first post so hopefully I'm in the right place. I want to renew the built-in pir sensors in my outdoor lights but I am having difficulty locating a supplier. The sensors are marked up as model GYQ-06. I have tried to google them but it just comes up with some Asian companies. Anyone...
