Hi everyone
We had an uninvited guest whilst the family were asleep, I was confronted with a big guy and a knife but we are all ok.
I am having some security bits and pieces fitted and have a question about our existing lighting on the driveway which are operated by a switch in the house. I would like to add a pir so once we go to bed at night the pir takes over and should someone walk on the driveway the lights come on again. We tend to leave the driveway lights on until the last one goes to bed anyway.
When they were originally fitted some 15 years ago a pir was fitted near to the last light but never connected.
From what I can see there is a junction box next to the standalone pir and the connections for the switch and lights are in there. It has a live feed in, the cable for the switch goes to there and then there is a feed to the lights. Can someone help and tell me how to wire the pir in please, it has a number of connection inside marked N.E.L. L1. L2.
Sorry if it sounds confusing, I am not "gifted" in the electrical dept.
