Hi,
This is for an area in one of our sheds where we have the controls for the electric fence, and various feed bins etc. It's approached across an unlit yard, and there's no lighting at present in the shed either. What I'd like to do is have the lights PIR controlled, but coming on when someone's approaching as well as remaining on while they're within the area. I don't think all that can be covered with one PIR, so I was wondering if they can be connected in parallel so the lights come on so long as either of them is triggered. Would that work? I'm hoping they use a relay to switch the load, or some other arrangement that won't care if the load side is already energised by another switch.
Thanks, Tony S
