Hi,

I currently have an outdoor light with inbuilt PIR connected to a fused spur off a set of sockets.

I've now got a new light (non-PIR), so have bought a separate Steinel PIR which I want to use to feed the wall light, as well as a couple LED drivers which power 12 LED ground lights.

It has been suggested on a previous thread that it is sensible to use a MK Grid Plus 2 way switch to allow 'PIR on', 'Permanent on' and 'Off' with the PIR. I'll get a local electrician to check my work at the end but wanted to get all the bits together and make a start prior to final connection.

I'd be grateful if anyone could confirm the following makes sense:

  • Take spur from existing socket in twin & earth;
    Connect to MK Grid Plus 13a Fuse;
    Connect MK Grid Plus 2a way switch to 13a fuse (using twin & earth?);
    Run 4 core (FP200 or similar) to external Steinel PIR and connect accordingly to relay;
    Run 3 core (FP200 or similar) from PIR output to suitable junction box (not sure which yet);
    Run 3 core to outdoor wall light and LED drivers from junction box outputs.
Any thoughts much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Damian
