    Contactor for outside lights on a PIR - Opinion requested

    Hi I wondered what opinions would be on the following. I have installed 2 20W LED floodlights which will be controlled by a PIR and a 3 position switch to override the function of the PIR. The manual of the PIR seems to imply that if it used to control more than one light it should be via a...

    pir sensor in false ceiling

    I know fire rated downlights are installed in false or suspended ceilings as the normal as the cost difference is small... But what about PIR sensor in a false ceiling or a suspended grid ceiling wouldn't they need to be fire rated if it was a fire rated ceiling?

    Maintained EM Lights on PIR

    Got some emergency lighting to fit this week. Spec is vague. Normally the key switch would be switching only the feed to the EM battery pack - not the whole circuit as I’ve seen some do. However the lights are all controlled by PIR. Does this have any impact? Can imagine they will be hard to...

    Weird PIR wiring

    Does this sound like a normal way of wiring a PIR. So had to change a PIR for a pullcord today and this caught me out. Just wonder what others thoughts are. I could not get to any of the wiring above at all. I had two Twin and earth cables coming to PIR. 1st cable was power in no problem...

    Linked PIR lights

    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...

    PIR timer override

    As always, I'm a level 2 student so please ignore the ignorance. Is it possible, and if so how, to wire up a PIR with a switch that has the ability to turn the light off after the PIR has been activated. Or in all cases do you have to wait for the timer to expire? Side question - are there...
