Hi all, looking to fit a PIR sensor and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Senario - an outside corridor has 6 lights, presently on a timer. These 6 lights now need to come on and off by a PIR Sensor.
I have previous experience as an electicians mate and have done odd indoor PIR Systems but looking for some advice and to make sure it's something I can have a look at doing.
As I see things I would use one sensor, positioned in the middle of the corridor, so to detect movement at either end. I'd test the 6 lights to see how they are wired. Hopefully, depending how wired, find the first light with the permanent live and wire the PIR Sensor into that first light. Then use the required length of cable to be able to position the sensor where need.
Could anyone give me any advice on this, where I may have said anything wrong and indeed comment on whether this is something I'd be ok doing. Be much appreciated. Thanks.
