Hello, looking for some guidance on wiring an external PIR light and also having a switch wired for possible maintenance etc...
The plan is:
To fix the PIR light to the wall of the outside toilet
The PIR light has a terminal block inside with a brown, blue and earth wire, run a length of cable from the PIR light to the ceiling light in the toilet to get a LIVE feed
Run a length of cable from the PIR light to the switch
What I'm not sure on is how to connect each of the three wires in the cable I've run from the PIR light to to the toilet ceiling light, the toilet ceiling light is old school, inside it has two cables running into it one for the toilet light switch and one LIVE cable, the two red wires from each cable both seem to be connected together, the two earth cables are also connected together, the black wires from each cable are seperate and are used to connect the light bulb. I'm not sure how these get connected to the cable I've run from the PIR light?
Secondly I'm not sure on what wires get connected together from the PIR light to the light switch I'd like to use?
Hope this makes some sense!
