PIR sensor light installation help

[Miguel_92]

Today i purchased an Ansell PIR motion sensor light to replace my old one. The wiring outside consists of blue, brown and yellow (with dashes of green on the yellow wire). But inside the new light it has blue, red and brown. Which wires go into which holes in the new lamp? As i'm not an expert with electrics and i wondered why the wires are different in this new lamp (the one i took down was very old and just stayed on because the sensor had gone). Ansell Lighting - https://www.anselluk.com/product/ALWL-PIR-WH that is the lamp. I have taken photos of the wires outside if needed. Thanks

Looks like just line and neutral

Blue being the neutral

your existing wires go into the new light, brown to brown, blue to blue. ignore red. if the new light does not have a terminal for earth, just terminate your gn/y into a separate block connector.

So that will be brown to black

The CPC (earth) will connect to the spare middle terminal by the looks of.it

Apologies brown to brown

I'm going colourblind

What is in the middle terminal of the new connector block between brown and blue, nothing? The base which that connector fits to looks like metal then again it could be moulded plastic.

I can take a new photo with the new light apart and i'll upload it

Looks like plastic to me

There's nothing in the middle terminal

What do the instructions say?

Dang could be wrong too and there's a connection on the middle terminal to the frame

Thought it was plastic at first glance

Hopefully these help
