I had 2 outside lights installed by an electrician. The lights are PIR with daylight adjustment setting and a 4-terminal block (L,N,E,L1). He connected them with 3-core LNE in series, with an additional wire connecting L to L1 in each light. He then threw away the instruction book so I have nothing from the manufacturers to refer to!
All this wiring managed to do was leave the lights permanently on. I therefore did some research online and found out that there was no need for the extra connecting wire L to L1. I removed this on each unit and the PIR worked for each lamp separately (but not the daylight adjustment) . I tested this with just one bulb I moved between each lamp as the other bulb had broken.
Unfortunately, when I got a replacement bulb and put a bulb in both lamps, the solution no longer worked and the lamps stopped working (I presume the fuse had blown in the isolating switch - I have yet to check this).
Can anyone advise how these 2 lamps should be connected for them to work fully i.e. independently of each other and when they sense movement at nighttime.
I would be grateful for any assistance.
