Afternoon all.. another post prefaced with the 'I WILL get the professionals in' caveat.
I'm just trying to see the practicalities of my proposal!
I currently have a PIR security light - directly wired into my mains consumer unit, protected by an RCD.
I'd like to take the mains feed to a junction box, effectively splitting the feed, into two seperate switches and then two seperate lights.. I imagine this is 'practically' not the done thing... but is it simple enough?
I want to power two lights, of one mains feed. One of my lights will be a PIR and one will be purely a dusk til dawn..
Admittedly one feed - but hopefully my rudimentary plan shows my intention.
CU >>> JB >>> SWITCH 1 >>> LIGHT 1 (PIR proximity sensor in doorway)
CU >>> JB >>> SWITCH 2 >>> LIGHT 2 (D2D always on)
I'm not even sure if two switches are necessary?
I'm not an electrician (clearly!) but any advice would be great!
Cheers,
Tom
