What gland do I need for Lap flood light?

[Minime46]

I never accept anything which has an opened box.

I know for future, I remember it had no sticky tape or anything... so lesson learnt.

is there a way to fit these in series so when 1 pir detects, they all light up?????? maybe I need a different post for this question?

You ok on the same topic. As I mentioned before, the modern integrated lights with on board PIR often do not provide the facility to gang up additional lights and PIRs.
That’s why separate PIR(s) plus separate slave floodlights works better.

The PIRs and lights would be in PARALLEL, not in series. Here’s one way to do it.

Thats perfect! Thank you.

If the op uses anything other than LAP, he will almost certainly need a junction box, as virtually all LED floods appear to have a pre-wired flex already fitted, and the fitting is sealed.

Is LAP ok for plug sockets, spurs etc???

No. They are only useful for being smashed with a hammer or dropped into hydrochloric acid.

LAP is absolute dung. It should be unlawful to use it.

Robus aren't pre-flexed, though as you point out the overwhelming majority of units are.

Robus - that's worth knowing.

Are they easy to connect? That LAP connector looks a PITA.

Not too bad when you are doing it with a short length of flex resting on something in the back of the van, but not sure I'd fancy it up a ladder with and existing flex, tbh

Also, I think they issued similar to a recall notice, but it was called a safety notice, and didnt want them back in, pointing out that the cable entry isn't suitable for twin and earth cable, and a colleague went to a call out where this was the problem, it had let moisure in and was down on IR and tripping RCD
