What do I connect my neutral of my switch wire to? How do I carry it up to the pendant?

Hi, I have a 2 Gang switch, left hand side switch is 2 way and is working fine, it has a 2 core and earth (strapper) cable coming in, Black to 1 and Red to 2. Then another cable (feed) coming in and going to Com then looping to the right hand side Com. The incoming feed is just a single core...

So my incoming 2 core and earth (Feed) will connect as follows to my 3 core at my first light which is an emergency: Brown (2 core L) to Brown (3 core PL) Blue (2 core N) to Grey - (3 core N) Earth to Earth Black (3 Core Switch Wire) in a connector Thanks

Hi, I have some stair lights I wish to install, a mix of Emergency and Normal controlled by PIRs, no switch. I know this requires a 3 core (PL, SW, N) and earth. I have wired my 3 core from the first light and round everything so far but still have to wire my mains. I was hoping to take the...

I would like each light to just activate as it’s triggered by its own pir. It’s on a long drive way so want each one to go as it sensors movement.

Even if I want them just to operate individually when triggered by it’s own PIR?

This seems likely. Silly me was trying to do it in daylight….whoops! Thanks again.

Hi, I have installed a new circuit for my outside lights. There are 4 all together. They are security lights with PIR built in. I have a feed from the DB to the switch. Brown of the feed and brown of switch wire into Com, blue into connectors and then a black in connectors as it was wired in 3...

Yes, the switch has a neutral, wired in twin and earth.

From the switch to first light? 3 core and earth? So at the switch…..Switch live into L1 and permanent feed into Com? Plus neutral. Will my floodlights come with 3 core and earth on the pre made flex?

I have edited the post, built in PIRs with the lights. Does this still require a 3 core and earth?

Hi, I currently have a light switch at the front door not doing anything at the moment. I wish to take a cable, a 2 core and earth from it to an outside built in PIR activation light then daisy chain the wiring to another two built in PIR activated lights. I understand I might have to use JBs...
