LED replacements in the post as I type :) Just moved into the house recently and ordering them was one of the first things I did. I just embarassed myself in mentioning them to pre-empt any questions about load wrt the PIR. As for night / day use - as I mentioned (implied) in my first...

Thanks guys - appreciate the responses. Aside from the security aspects, I'm doing this as a challenge to myself after years of putting in basic lighting & sockets. So please bear with me being a little wooden .... Firstly, Owain, I need to get my head around volt-free contacts on a PIR...

Thoroughly enjoyed last week's epic BAS / Paul_C dong dong on the "outdoor lighting" regs. (Got through some serious amounts of popcorn). Anyway, I have an additional question on outdoor cabling....... Just moved into a house that appears to have a radial circuit downstairs (well, it has...

... many, many thanks for that EFL, really appreciated. As I said, I knew the question was academic, but I needed to know !!

Could someone please explain the wiring for a PIR to give it an override function? (I'm assuming the lamp is separate and I know most modern units have this function in-built - but this is simply a hypothetical question. I'm a novice but recently replaced a 'modern' PIR lamp and reading around...
