Help needed with photocell problem

[baza]

I need to add a override switch to a Photocell controlling a light. My thoughts is to use a one gang two way switch to switch between a live feed to light and live feed to the photocell, the only problem i can see is in doing this, is the switch live terminal of the photocell will be live when the photocell is overrided, could this possibly damage the photocell
Any help would be much appreciated

not a problem. all you are doing is fitting a manual switch in parallel with an auto switch. do the same with PIRs

if you have one point of isolation on the circuit and photocell is in a nema type socket I cant see a problem.
