I have a very annoying problem with the new security light i have just purchased and fitted.
I wired the light from the mini consumer unit in my garage.
I took a feed from the lighting circuit to a switch and then to the security light.
All works fine as a security PIR i.e. when it senses movement it comes on for a minute and then goes off.
The light is supposed to have a manual over ride facility (discussed on other forum topics on this website) whereby if you turn the switch for the light on/off within 1 secod the light remains on permanently.
The other half wants this facility for when we have family bbq's etc.
I just cannot make the manual over ride facility work. When i flick the switch on/off and on, the light comes on for a min then goes off.
Have i missed something simple ?
ANy thoughts appreciated.
