Wiring of PIR lights - is this correct?!

[Deleted member 9648]

Terrible, conduit would have been nice and neat or run cables inside and chase fill accordingly, fuse spur for feed, with switch to energise switch live/trigger to linked PIRs. Or suitable fittings with ingetral PIRs. No excuse for sloppy work. Ask to remove and get some quotes from some sparks who take pride in their work.

I'm still at college and I know this is wrong. Should either be chased / under floorboards indoors or conduit outside for neatness and mechanical protection. Also I don't get the need for separate pirs, it just looks crap adding all the extra cabling and it's just not needed.

Running cable in internal chases can result in safe zone issues,separate PIR's can be an advantage due to better coverage and better quality. Most 'reasonably priced' fittings have rubbish PIR's.

Yes, check info on permitted zones before chasing, depends on Wall thickness but I was more referring to chase in spur and switch and use one of these to get you outside somewhere sensible then conduit/hituff/SWA to wiskas then stuffing gland to loads.......couple of PIRs with linked switch lives should be ample on domestic then loop into lighting loads......fitted a steinel sensiq pir the other day, very good PIR and comes with it's own remote control!
