Great video! Tried for ages to find someone who can explain this simply. Absolutely perfect explanation!! Thank you!😊

Thanks again for a comprehensive explanation of PIR with "always on" function. Got a little confused as from the beginning of the video L1 is on the right but from 0.48 - 1.23 L1 is on the left. Not a problem though.

Thanks for the comment, and good point. Yes , I mucked up a bit there. I did want to make a point about how the L1 and L2 can the other way round physically on the switch , or labelled 1,2,3. So it useful to confirm how the switch actually does operate. But forgot to mention it. I was also going to mention that the switching would also be flipped around if wired like that, so switch one would actually be switch two when screwed on the backbox, if you know what I mean 🙂

Hi there great video , if I’m taking the feed coming into the light switch for a new pir light installation from an existing switch , are the connections brown common , neutral in a connector block

Great video. Where in the circuit would you add a photocell so the PIRs only activate when it’s dark?

Hi Andy, Most PIRs sense light levels, so you do not need a photocell. You will see a small dial with a sun and mood symbol. You turn the dial to moon, so the light will only come on when it gets dark

A very good and informative video, thank you. I am trying to wire up some spike lights and want to use a stand alone sensor, would I need to have the switch? Or can I run it any other way? Thank you for the video though.

Thanks for watching. You don't need a switch for it to work , but it is useful to have the functionality of being able to switch something off or on The PIR is a switch, and you could run a permanent supply to that, which would control the lights

Excellent video. Do you know if you can connect two or more sensors together to turn on the same light? Would be great to see illustration of that if it can be done.

Hi Danny, yes its possible. Run a permanent live, neutral, and switch live (and CPC) to the second PIR from the first. The light will respond to either switch live
