We all knew it was going to happen, don't think I had much chance of it not, hopefully the OP has a sense of humour, could we get back on track please and give the OP some constructive advice

Scotty, as with wiring a simple light controlled by a PIR with a 3 core core between a fitting or joint box, an accessible one of course, I'd just loop a 3 core from PIR to PIR then to the other PIR, all connections are the same within the PIR, just looping the Line and Neutral across and then returning the Switch wire back, which will be joined in the PIR, depending which one detects movement.

 

[Leesparkykent]

In parallel then lol

I'd do similar only 3core and earth round the lot..not much cost difference.means you could use any of your flexes as a light or pir or indeed emergency if required

Lovely, but he's got to do it with greggs so he ain't going to be running three core from PIR to PIR is he!

Ask your mentor, you will be wiring in parallel not series, I take it you are using singles?

Dave, no idea what greggs are, was just explaining it in lehmanns terms because he wasn't sure about what he was doing, get back in your cave you sarcastic tart.

Greggs, rock roses, Klik roses, plug in ceiling roses, luminaire supporting couplers,
You must have heard of them surely?

Don't call me Shirley, i know what they are when you use the proper terminology.

Greggs is a far more common term than lsc!

 

[Risteard]

LOL. I think Gregg is a very common term in Scotland.

I learnt it quite a few years ago when doing a job for a Scottish firm and giving a blank look when they mentioned Greggs.

Always classed them all as rock lanterns down South like until I worked up north ....
