Anyone any ideas please? I have tried to replace a non PIR lamp with one with an integral PIR. The original had both reds connected to a terminal block - one black wire to the neutral terminal of the plain lamp and another black to the live terminal - so I placed a piece of tape on it for future identification. The earth's were obvious.
I have tried to connect up the new lamp - with the flagged black wire to the live terminal, the plain black to the neutral and the earths connected together - the reds remaining in the terminal block playing no part of the connection to the PIR unit and lamp. When power is connected the PIR seems to trigger but the lamp doesn't light up - I have checked that the bulb works.
Any ideas if I have done something wrong or could the unit be at fault?
(no MCBs tripped when I powered up)
