Hi All
Not bought an LED floodlight for a while, looking for a mid priced recommendation has anyone any recent experiences fitting either the Screwfix LAP or Luceco brands or the LEDlite from TLC? Thanks.
Hi, can anyone help. I am trying to install a Honeywell Accenta G4 with new PIR sensors.
I am struggling to get the new PIR sensors to work correctly.
The new sensors I have are IS3016 Passive Infrared Motion sensors.
When I have wired previous PIR sensors, they have had 6 wires

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...

i am getting a lot of nuisance switching, have replaced the sensor but still happening, i am...
Does anyone know why manufacturer's instructions would state not to have more than one fitting on the circuit? These are customer supplied "frog eye" external floodlights, each fitting has 2, 20W eyes.
We weren't aware of this instruction and fitted the two fittings on one radial, the second...

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...
I have a 500W Security light with a built-in PIR sensor.
See: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005OB0MVW/
It works fine, but if I'm outside at night I have to move within range every few minutes to keep it on.
So what I want to do is fit a switch to bypass the PIR.
The four-way terminal...
I'm looking for a PIR sensor that will replace a standard light switch but the ones I can find are £40+, which seems a little silly considering you can get a standalone wall mounted PIR for about a tenner. Any recommendations anyone?
Hi all, im looking for a pir to switch my outside lights. I'l be putting up 3 LED floods but looking for 2 PIR's to control them. the pir's aren't going to be close to the lights so i wont get cormbined fittings. also I'm looking for a 2 way centre off switch, so i can either have light perm...
Hi all
Can anyone recommend a PIR occupancy switch that I can install in my bathroom ceiling above the bath? It will be used to automatically trigger the extractor fan which is loft mounted in-line type. I want it to trigger only when the bath is occupied so the PIR will need to have a narrow...
Morning All,
I have a customer request for a wireless PIR system, receiver above the front door & 3 sensors in the garden. The lights required to energise are all LED and total 45w.
Ive bench tested the timeguard offering (which does say not for use with LED) and sure enough it doesn't turn...

Alarm ion16
PIR wired to control pad KEY-KPZO1
Ive attached an image of the pad.
The alarm PIR has the following terminals.
0v /12v /tamp/tamp/ nc/nc
I'm happy with the first two [emoji15]
If someone could please explain I'd...
Hi
I am to put up a couple of independently activated PIR lights over the front and side of a detached garage. The garage has a fluorescent light and two double mains sockets fed from some RCDs (inside the garage).
I have some 1mm T&E cable and a couple of FSUs to be able to isolate each...
Hi guys,
Just curious to see what P.I.R code other people would give kitchen appliances with inaccessible plugs that have no means of isolation.
I came across a cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and bathroom extractor fan yesterday and C2'd it.
I notice on the electrical safety first...
My parents have a small old halogen light above their front door but it's stopped working so Iv got them a ip65 10w LED pir replacement and ip65 JB.
they have a t&e flex running from the Halogen light through the wall above the door, tacked to the wall and hanging down. The flex has a standard...
Howdy all!
I have just finished my latest project.
(Well finished for now!)
Its a arcade cabinet with working controls, spinners, light guns and coin mech.
But ime a little stumped as to what to use to keep the light gun cables out of the way when not in use!
I would like something discrete...
hey,
for the first time i've recently come across master and slave PIRs in some of the corridors and rooms we've been second fixing. i've asked a couple of the installers and they didn't really seem to know much about them or why they would be specifically used, and i've struggled to find...
Hi,
i am a 22 year old lad from Portsmouth and I am aspiring to become an electrician. I'm currently a deputy manager at a small supermarket so it's quite a change. But I would like to get a trade as sitting in an office doing paper work all day long is not for me. I am planning on getting...
Hi guys,

Its a new install and the one thing i have seen which im not sure weather it warrants a code or
not is they have a chandelair type fitting where the bracket is screwed to the beam,
Meaning due to the size of the...
