I have electrically operated doors on my double garage which is at the far end of a workshop that is accessed from the house. When either garage door is operated a courtesy light is illuminated on the appropriate unit but the light only covers a small area not including the walkway through the workshop.
I have in mind to take a power supply from each door light and connect them to a slave light further up the workshop. However, I can't figure out how to wire the slave unit so that only it and the active door light are lit i.e. if both door units are wired to a single slave then the non-active door light will illuminate as well because the wires will be joined at the slave light. Hope this makes sense?
Is there a junction box or switch available that can help me achieve what I want? If it were a 12v system then I could use a brake/tail ight with dual filaments and wire each door light separately...
Thanks for any advice.
