Outside Light Problem
Iconic
Posts: 1,021 Forumite
I have just replaced an outdoor wall light that had a PIR Sensor with a similar one but without the PIR.
The new one works but there is no way I can switch it off!
I think it's because I have isolated the extra yellow wire which I understand is a switched live. Unfortunately the inside light switch that this connects to is a double so I cannot work out how the new light is wired.

If you replaced the original light how did you switch it off?
If it not a PIR light now that means its will be on all the time now as the PIR would be set to turn off and off as per the settings0 -

The old light had not worked for a while but I thought I was able to switch it off when required. If I switched it on the PIR would ensure the light came on with any movement.
I have now sorted this out by connecting the switched live and isolating the live cable in the unit.0
