How do I wire a PIR sensor?

I've set up a sensor to control the light in my bathroom but can't get it to work.

The sensor is ceiling mounted and is a ES-P17 PIR sensor.

I have measured 220v is going in and can hear the click of the sensor when there's movement underneath it, but no light actually comes on.

Pictures to illustrate what I've done is attached, also the diagram of the thing >>>> http://www.diynot.com/network/jetster/albums/23434

Any help much appreciated.
 
I would check that the lamp bulb is in good order and not blown, and also check that the switch live is terminated correctly at the sensor and live and neutral are also terminated correctly at lamp and have not become loose.

Is there not an enclosure/cover for the conductors?
 
Why did you not follow the diagram?

A - live to light, red
N - both neutrals, both blacks, one from light, one from supply
L - live from supply, red
 
@EFLImpudence that brought it home. It's working now thank you.
To me it looked like the Black was supposed to go on the A not the Live one.
Thank you for your help!
 
Jester only has 220volts. Don't tell Winston :wink:
