PIR sensored lights problem.

[schoe]

Hi all im connecting 2 lights with internal built in pir sensors. I have run a 1.5mm t&e from a switched fuse to the first light connecting to L N E, i then looped the second light with built in sensor the same way. When i livened up the circuit the first light came on and went off, but the second stayed on.

Do i need to use 3 core and earth and link the L on light one to the L2 switched live on light 2 to meke the both lights come on and go off at the same time.

Thanks Chris

make sure you have not connected the L directly to the lamp (S/L) on the one that stays on. also, on first power up, give them time to settle down before you walktest

it you want the sensor on light 1 to turn on both lights and vice versa yes then 3 core is needed
