Hi,
I have an outside pir light attached to the side of our porch which I haven't used since it interferes at night with the cctv camera i installed.
There is now some damage to the pir cover so wish to just remove the light.
Tracing the wire back it goes in to my brick shed (attached to the house and porch) where it goes in to a plastic junction box on the inside wall. A different colour cable then runs out the other end.
The light is turned off and on by a double gang 1 way switch in the house - 1 for the outside light i wish to remove, the other for the light in the porch. This is on the ground floor light ring main.
2 questions -
To blank the wire to the outside light, I'm thinking this is easiest to do this in the junction box it runs to in the shed, but what do i need to blank it?
How do i change the existing double gang light switch in to a single gang switch? Is it a simple case of blanking the wires that go to the outside light?
Thanks
