UK Security Light Problem.

[scaramander]

Can you show a picture of the choke in the fluorescent light.

Thanks.

Does the security light operate normally when the bathroom light is on?
Does it operate normally when the bathroom light is off?

Yes it does, on and off!

I'd be checking the terminals at the bathroom light switch anyhow, doubt that's the problem though

Is this a 3-plate arrangement with supplies at the lights and twins dropped to switches

On a different tack - might the security light be seeing light emanating from the bathroom?
It's presumably supposed to respond to IR from a person, and/or movement, but if it was detecting 'dusk' when the bathroom light goes off, might that switch it on?
Masking the detector should show one way or the other ?

The light is outside my kitchen door overlooking back garden.
Bathroom is some distance away.
Thanks for reply!

Is everything back fully functional

Prob a simple answer I guess

It looks like the chassis tag on the fluorescent is no longer connected to the terminal block ?

In the absence of many obvious answer

If everything is in order with the installation wiring and the new pir light wiring

I would be checking the switch terminals and probably checking if the issue occurs with an incandescent bulb connected at the bathroom

Seen something strange happen before switching off fluorescents

More than likely the answer is more obvious than that though
