Good. Everything you need is in the instructions, bottom right corner.

So the earth wire is the yellow one with hints of green on the wire then. And i just stick that between blue/brown?

I mean i would put the earth wire next to blue and brown? So it would be 3 in a row for the wires on the same terminal. Or would i put it on the other side of the terminal in the places i'd put the blue/brown.

Thank you for the help. I literally have no idea about wiring etc, so i didn't want to blow myself up?

First sight, flashing across the top of the screen, I thought that might have been Tony's all singing all dancing bog from way back.

Can't deny that it looks like a bog?

Managed to put it up this afternoon. It came on for about 20 seconds or something, then it clicked on and off a few times then it went off. Even waving in front of the sensor didn't make it come back on again, but i am not sure whether that is due to it being broad daylight or what. In a few hours i'll find out, because i've wired it up correctly. During the fiddling process of putting the wires in/putting the front of the lamp on a brown wire came out, which i knew was the case but my family member who helped me said it hadn't happened so i took it apart again and the brown wire had come loose (after putting the wire back it stayed on, then clicked 3/4 times on and off then it went off again)?. In just under 3 hours i'll see if it comes on during darkness when i walk past it.
