Basic security light wiring advice

[Treacle]

Hi, I would be very grateful for any basic wiring advice anyone could provide for a hi-lo pir security light if possible. I believe I need to put the one of the switched live cables into the section marked 1 along with the other main live wires and the other switched live into the section marked 2 but perhaps I am completely wrong. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Not sure if you will take my advice mate, best you get hold of a local electrician

Fair enough. Thanks

The grey cables with blue sleeving into the N connection.

Then you will have to find which wires go to the lamp/ sensor.
Why is there a third connection? What’s a hi/low PIR sensor do?

This looks like a replacement light?
Is it identical to the last one?
Is there a separate Pir on the wall somewhere nearby?

The light is one of these... ASD Hi-Lo Coach LED Half Lantern Outdoor Wall Light with PIR Sensor - Lighting Direct - https://www.lighting-direct.co.uk/asd-hi-lo-coach-led-half-lantern-outdoor-wall-light-with-dusk-to-dawn-and-pir-sensor-black.html

It is different from the previous one and has an integrated pir.

There's no way enough information to make any sense of this tbh

You only need the always live cables, neutral and earth.
The third cable set would be to manually override or supply another light.
Live cables go into the terminal marked L or 1 and Neutral cables into the terminal marked N or N.
However we do not know how the light is wired or the methods of control you want so any advice we can give is limited by this.

Do you have the manufacturer's instructions?

What is the modal number on the fitting ? if you know that give ASD a ring and they will email you installation instructions.

.....and, of course, you do take a photo, or noted down which wires went where on the old light?

Some pir light fittings require a switch line so that the light can be permanently switch on.

It’s been more that two years. I’m guessing the OP has it sorted by now!

I will say this the red wires on 1 and 2 terminals go to the lights plus your earth and neutral. As stated above the brown goes to L1 blue to terminal N plus your earth
