Discuss Outside Light with built in PIR in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hi,

Heavy industrial spark here, never do house bashing hence the question.

I currently have a light switch at the front door not doing anything at the moment.

I wish to take a cable, a 2 core and earth from it to an outside built in PIR activation light then daisy chain the wiring to another two built in PIR activated lights. I understand I might have to use JBs at each as I will have a pre made flex and two mains legs at a couple.

Will this work? Will each light just switch on individually when each PIR is activated?

Thanks

Some pir lights have a switched output so you can link them together, when any pir is activated then all lights will come on.
if you don’t connect that cable then they will all work as individual pir lights.

just check that you have a N at the light switch before buying any materials.
