Outside light with PIR and switch

[jjrules2]

Is there a specific name for a light that works by switching it on or off at a switch in the house, as well as coming on when someone walks in front of the PIR?

I have aver wired outside lights in 1.5mm 3c and earth and struggling to find a nice up/down modern light with the permanent live, switched live, neutral and earth connections! Baffles me but all the good ones just have L N and E

Go to your wholesales and ask for there lighting catalogs.

use any light that you want with a separate PIR. from supply, feed L and N into switch position, 3 core /E to PIR. then T/E to light. i'll leave you to draw it out so that the PIR has a permanent feed and the switch will override the PIR to light the light. good practice to use a SFCU with 3A fuse for the supply, then on to the switch etc.

cheapo screwfix pir lights have override function, use your normal switch, flip it on and off couple of times leaving on at the end, light will stay on no matter of pir.

always found that a bit hit and miss. prefer to fit a switch to supply sw. L to the output side of the PIR.

Is there a live out for extra lights to come on a same time? If there is this is where u can put your sw live to override anyway

 

[telectrix]

even if the PIR won't take extra lights, there is a S/L terminal there.

He said there wasn't

must be, as the tails from the lamp are both terminated in the connection compartment.
