PIR light

[rapier]

Customer wants a PIR light fitting outside they just wnt it to b a able to come on when some1 walks 2wards it. Shall i take it straight off the CCU or come from a switch (if it has a feed) or shall i convince her to have it switched.

Hello Rapier,
Just feed pir from the common of nearest switch will be fine.However if you want to make an extra few £££££ put it on a switch.

Feeding from a local switch will not work unless there is a neutral there already.

It should be switched as a lot can be overridden by a flick on and off. This makes the light stay on regardless.

It can the be reset by turning off for a few seconds and then back on to PIR mode.

A switch should also be fitted for isolation, even if you mount it next to the CU.
