Did a search but couldnt find any answer please forgive me if this has already been covered.
So im looking to install 2 groups of outdoor lights
1. To illuminate the patio area
2. To illuminate along the path
I am planning to wire each group through a centre off grid switch and would like to use one PIR to operate them automatically but would also like to switch override them independently of each other.
I would supply permanent live to both L1's and the PIR
Then link the both L2's to the switch line of the PIR
Then supply each group of lights from the Common of the corresponding switch?
switch in position 1 lights on
switch in position 2 (centre) lights off
switch in position 3 lights auto (switched by PIR)
This will all be wired in t&e/3c&e and neutrals and earths terminated/wago'd as appropriate
Is there any reason why this wouldnt work or should not be done?
Thanks in advanced for your responses
