It doesn't sound like you have a neutral at the switch so it won't work. What wattage lamp is it?

The PIR is 60watt max. The landing and Hallway lamps are both 60watt also!

If you look in the ceiling rose of the hall light, how many cables are there in it? Is it possible to replace the switch wire from here to the switch with a 3c+e cable, or run an additional twin and earth from the hall light to the switch?
