Hi not sure if this has been covered before or not but here goes,
Qualified Electrician currently wiring my own garage. I have 6 spot lights, 2 separate circuits (3lights per circuit) a PIR and a switch.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to have 3 of the spots come on via the PIR as I walk in, then flick a switch and all 6 come on permanent. Possible switching of the neutral? ? my own garage don’t forget.
Thanks
 
do not switch a neutral.

trigger 3 lights with PIR
trigger the other 3 with a manual switch
use a 2 gang switch and 1 switch is your manual, the other bypasses the PIR.

Bit naughty I know lol I was trying to avoid using 2 switches if possible so was thinking I could maybe do something with an intermediate switch, really appreciate the reply though thankyou
