Hi Everyone
I need a little advice please. I have bought a Coast Outdoor Led Bulkhead & PIR which states on the instructions that it can be fitted vertically and horizontally. It was fitted by the electrician horizontally, but unfortunately it appears that the PIR is looking directly down...
Does any one know if a basic switchdim or touch dim ballast can be used with a Pir that's will dim the lights up and down in accordance with the level of light available?
Or is it just dimming on a retractable switch
I’ve got a basic PIR motion sensor that I’m wiring into my garage just before the ceiling light.
I’ve fitted it all fine and it works, however the light fitting requires an earth but the sensor doesn’t have a space for it in its terminal blocks. This is no problem and I’ve just joined the...
We have 3 wall switches which control the hallway lights. The wiring is as the picture below I downloaded (which implies this is a fairly standard wiring arrangement). I'd like to replace one of the wall switches (either Switch 1 or Switch 2 in the diagram) with a PIR switch but I can't find a...
Ok so I have a quinetic switch connected to a relay which turns it into a 2way switch..
I want one output going directly to the lights and the other I want going to the power of the PIR with the switched live of the PIR going to the lights..
I want it this way so when the switch is turned off...
Hi, moved into a house with Veritas R8. One PIR is faulty, stopping alarm getting set. Don't have engineer codes (tried 1234, 4321 etc). How can I permanently disable the zone which is faulty?
In my apartment block, our hallway has a mix of LED bulkhead lights (all same brand, 5 of them) some incandescent ones (x4). They are on a circuit with about 4 PIR sensors that span the length of the hallway (they all work, I hear the relays click in each one). When the timer goes, all but 2 of...
Any recommendations on good quality flush mounted PIR sensor that work well?
Need to install one in a upper market property, and had some poor experiences before with the stuff from the sheds.
Needs to be as flush as possible ideally...
Hi,
I have a downstairs toilet with two spotlights. I have recently replaced the MR16s with two GU10 LEDs. This has meant that my PIR makes the lights flash repeatedly.
I have another PIR in the utility which has 6 spotlights on (all GU10 LEDs) and this one works fine. I have tried swapping...
Hi All - Does anyone know if I can add a PIR to an existing zone that has one PIR on it. If so with the pir wired as in the picture where do I attach the wires on the panel ideally I want to use zone 3 or 4.
I'm not sure if the original wiring is using same colours as I have for PIR.
Many thanks
I design bathrooms and I'm wondering if it's possible to use the same ceiling lights supplied by both a manual switch and a flush ceiling pir going through a concealed dimmer as a night light.
Looking at most PIRs and from what I understand, if the bathroom rocker switch L1 supplies the lights...
I put it up myself just 2/3 years back. Suddenly, out of the blue, when triggered it it flashes on/off/on/off repeatedly for the prescribed on period. Knowing why it does that would be nice but either way I presume it's dead/dying and needs replacing. It's on the wall adjacent to the bedroom...
I wonder if any helpful electrician could throw some 'light' on this question I have regarding changing the switching configuration of my current external lighting setup?
I currently have two external PIR sensor halogen flood lights (150w) that are controlled from a 4 gang light switch in the...
Hi guys
Wondering if you could help.
I wanted to fit an indoor PIR sensor in the kitchen which would control 20 led down lights.
My kids have a bad habit of leaving the lights on and leaving the room.
Is this possible? Can anyone send me a link to any good ones? How easy are they to fit...
Actually managed to kill 2 PIRs in succession yesterday. The first I got SL and N mixed up (who uses the black core of a 3C+E as neutral? honestly), which killed it dead, tripping the breaker in the process. Schoolboy error.
The second, well I don't feel it's 100% my fault.
The PIR I had...
I was looking for some advice on common wiring styles for stairwell delay lighting circuits. So I can figure out what has been done in the existing wiring since I have committed to try and add some PIRs to an existing stairwell delay circuit in the block of flats that we are living in.
The...
Hello
I have purchased a new PIR to replace an old broken sensor. The old sensor had 3 terminals and the system was configured with an overridden switch.
The new sensor has 4 terminals. LNAL
I have two switched live wires and one neutral. Can I connect the override feed to the A terminal...
My new PIR light for my garden/yard arrived today but i was wondering how Wago connectors work within a junction box? The box is waterproof of course, but i only know how a terminal works. Can someone explain how you use them with wires? As i've got no idea. An electrician told my dad who bought...
