I have two exterior lights that are operated from a single switch within the house. I wired these in a few years ago. Here's an image of the light:
The live feed goes to light #1 along with the switch wire and this the has a cable that activates a second light too. The second light (identical) is approximately 10 metres away.
I am unsure of this has always been the case but I noticed that when I switch the light on, light #1 immediately illuminates but the second light probably takes 2-4 seconds before it lights up.
I thought it may be the bulbs and changed both from the existing fluorescent to LED's:
I still get the same behaviour. I checked connections in both sets of terminals and all seems fine.
I have a similar arrangement elsewhere in the house (a slave light or whatever the technical term is!) and haven't noticed a similar delay. Curious to understand why this is the case.
