Hi, Hope someone can help - i have an outside light which is PIR operated only. I want to get rif o this light and install 2 new lights which can be switched on when i want and PIR activated the rest of the time. Adding the replacement and additional light and switch alone is no problem but i am confused about the wiring layout adding a PIR which can be overriden by the switch.
Hi Danc, without layout difficult to say how to do cabling physically but all you need electrically is a switch between perm. Live to PIR & its switched outgoing core to light, ie a twin brown from PIR to a sw.
don't forget if doing any wiring outside house it's covered by Part-P,
regards SPARX
