![]() I am determined to run those two PIR-2ES sensors to one lamp!! I understand now that that configuration is likely to ‘confuse’ the sensors and you may well end up with one sensor in one mode and the other sensor in another mode. Re: Your reply of 22 Dec concerning wiring two outside motion lights to one switch Installing motion detector lighting fixtures provide security and energy savings and they can easily replace an existing exterior wall fixture.įully explained pictures and wiring diagrams about wiring light switches describing the most common switches starting with photo diagram 1. Installing Motion Detector Light Fixtures More about Wiring Security Lights and Motion Detectors One black wire for the switch as the power source.With this wiring configuration you would end up with 3 black wires:.The black wires going to the motion light fixtures need to join together, but not on the switch, instead splice the two wires after the switch.The Most Common Wiring Connections for Two Outdoor Light Fixture.Notice: Replacement parts for the light fixture should be compatible with the type of lamps that have been installed. Precaution: Identify the light fixture circuit, turn it OFF and Tag it with a Note before working with the wiring. Tools Required: Basic Hand Tools and Safe Ladder.Įstimated Time: Depends on personal experience, the light fixture and access to the light fixture. This electrical wiring project is best performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor or Certified Electrician. ![]() How to Wire Outside Motion Security Light FixturesĪpplication: Security Light Fixture Wiring. Thanks for your electrical wiring question Ron. This electrical question came from: Ron, a Homeowner from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Do both black feeds to the lights go on the terminal together ?.I know all the white wires have to be put together along with the grounds.It is not feasible to wire from the existing light so, the wiring would have to be from the switch.Then just run another cable to the last ceiling rose and connect a cable from the N and L on the other ceiling rose to the N and L on the last ceiling rose and connect all the sheathed earths and connect the L and N from the lamp and then you can switch on the circuit.Wiring a Switch for Two Outside Motion LightsĮlectrical Question: What is the correct wiring when adding a second outside motion light to an existing switch? So now when the first light is switched on the second light will also come on. Then all you need to do is run a cable to the next light and connect this to the N terminal in the ceiling rose (where the blue wires are) and connect the brown wire to the switched live terminal (where the brown wire and the blue wire that is sheathed brown are) Then at the new ceiling rose connect the blue wire to N and the brown to L, then connect the N for the lamp to N and the L to the L. The earths are omitted for clarity, but have to be connected and sleeved at all connection points. You then wire it up as in the picture above and then run another cable to the switch, as shown above and sleeve the blue cable at both ends of the switch wire with brown sleeving. Obviously the neutral wire connects to the neutral bar in the consumer unit and the earth connects to the earth bar, this wire will also need sleeving with green and yellew sleeving. Just run a cable to the first light from either the consumer unit 5 amp fuse or 6 amp circuit breaker (make sure the circuit is not switched on)
