Emergency light or security light?
Do you have details on this product?
Pictures of the existing wiring would be helpful and do you have any means of testing for voltage, such as a two pole voltage indicator?
 
There are three types of emergency light.
Non maintained turns on with power failure so just line, neutral and earth if required.

The maintained is split into two some similar to non maintained but are on all the time not just with power cut so again just line, neutral and earth if required. And then there are the type with two line connections one permanent and one switched the latter should go to the PIR.

I have in the past ordered the wrong type of maintained emergency light which just stays on all the time.
