Hey,
I have an outside light that's controlled by a switch. I'd like to change the light for a PIR one and also change the switch to a dimmer.
The reason for the dimmer is it's in my hallway, which also has switches for downstairs and upstairs, so i'd like to have a nice neat triple dimmer, rather than a double dimmer with toggle switch/non-switched FCU.
Is there anything fundamentally or sanely wrong in having a PIR light on a dimmer switch. I know it would only work if the dimmer was on the ON position, which it would have to be left in.
Or can I tweak the wiring so there's no switch to the outside light, in other words it's a permanent live.
