I want to switch one security light from two different places using PIR's. Is there a product to do this or do i have to get 2 off PIR's and wire them into a light? If this is the case is there a standard wiring solution for this practise?
If they are both switched on, theoretically the circuit could take 1000w, but that wouldnt happen often so you'd burn the contacts out in them.jjrenolds said:Thanks for that. I am assuming that wiring it in parrallel means the switch rating stays the same. i.e. if i purchase a pir that can switch 500 watts, then doubling up means i just need 2 pirs that can both switch 500 watts?

Using contactors or relays means you can switch an infinite load.
They use weedy contacts that can only just handle the rating specified.neilsumner said:I thought most PIRs that control lighting used relays anyway or do they now use Triacs?
