Hi guys advice needed

i am on a job where there are going to be 3 pirs controlling around 12 lights the 3 pirs are just because of the layout of the room,these have to be wired through greggs this is a method I have never used before as have been doing heavy industry for past few years

can anyone advise me on how to do this?

many thanks
 
Cheers guys for the quick replys

leesparkykent how do I wire that?

i know it's a stupid question probs but as I say no done lights etc for years
 
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.
 
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!
