"3-position" switch and light sensor

Has the cabling been installed between the switch position and the light fitting yet. If so how many cores does it have? Also, to where is the power from the dis board cabled?

Never wired up an exterior light with a photocell, done plenty with PIR's though. Does the light have a manual overside feature where if power is disconnected then re-connected (by means of a switch) it enters manual overide mode and the light comes on? If so, only need one switch. I installed a PIR security light, taking the feed from the lighting circuit (electric shaver cable specificaly). Took the spur to a separate FCU, then onto the light. A quick flick off / on from the FCU and the light enters manual overide mode and comes on.

Good point. Off to find the instructions in case it does ;-).

Most PIR/sensor lights nowadays uses 3 "flicks" of power to cycle between PIR mode and always on.

My one

Flick power switch 3 times and is a normal on/off via switch light.

Flick power another 3 times then behaves as a PIR light.

Yes.

It's easy with one of these:

That's the sort of thing!

Thanks, Paul DS.

and fitting, or one can easily be installed. Also that there is a suitable place to connect the wire which bypasses the photocell.
