Follow-up - fwiw I am now a ferrule-fan. Much easier than fiddling with wires that keep untwisting.

FWIW, the hack worked a treat :) Biggest issue was finding a couple of hours when I could work outside, when it wasn't raining. Thanks for all the help provided (y) Take care.

You are correct!

Impudence by name... either can be a master, in which case it become the master of the other lamp, which is the slave.

Thanks @SUNRAY. If it doesn't work then tbh I haven't lost much - I can't seem to find any outdoor lights that officially claim to support master/slave. I'll leave it a day in case @ericmark @Murdochcat or others chime in with a scary warning. Absolute worst case that I can see is that the thing...

Stretching the question a bit (sorry). This is the light that got delivered - which does not officially support a master/slave configuration :( Would it make sense to take a tap off the red/black junction and use this to provide this facility? This would cause the PiR controlled 'live' to be...

SL??? What's that? Replacing existing light fittings, on front and edge of garage, out front of house.

Thanks @ericmark , but do these points invalidate @SUNRAY's advice, or are they just a general comment on how PIR's work?

That is fantastic - thanks. And yes, I do have an override switch (indoors) that allows me to 'force' the lights on. Such a clear diagram too - you are a hero! :D

Hi, I currently have two outside lights, each with a PiR sensor. They have developed a fault so that the sensor only works some of the time. At the moment, one is master to the other slave (i.e. one sensor turns on both lights). From this, I assume there must be a spare 'hot' wire between the...

Hi Madrab - you are 100% correct and I am wrong :notworthy: I've managed to extract some of the silicone and can just about see the screw heads, but can't yet see the slot - having a real pain trying to get the screwdriver to engage, but I'll plug away at it until I manage to get a grip...

Thanks Madrab - I've now attached photos of the inside upper and lower corner pieces. The upper corner does include two screws which I guess hold the side pieces in place. However the lower corner doesn't have any screws (unless these are hidden by the silicone - which is unlikely since there's...

I am trying to uninstall a Coram corner-entry shower, so I can re-silicone the joints, which are leaking. Most of the assembly looks pretty straightforward, apart from the bottom outside corner (see photo). How is this kept in place? It is just siliconed in (I can't see any screws). If anyone...

That would also give me a useful door handle :LOL:

I recently replaced the lock/lever unit on my front door, to fix the old faulty unit. Unfortunately, the new unit did not exactly match my old door frame so I had to make some new holes and leave the old holes in place. Although I tried to fill them using white(-ish:whistle:) epoxy putty, the...
