Hi there.
Hope you can help with this one !
I have just installed an exterior PIR / dusk-dawn light outside the front door.The only easy electrical source I have would be from the light switch in the interior hall. I have replaced the single gang switch with a 2 gang and intended to use the free gang for the exterior light. Having tried a few connection combinations, I thought I had it sorted until the hall light started coming on at a reduced brightness (dusk ?! ) after switching it on and (later) off !
Have I got it very wrong, or can I blame the light ??!
Existing wiring ( original switch ) Red to L1, Black to comm, earth to earth
(ashes to ashes etc.)
Exterior light L N & E.
All help gratefully received.

p.s. It's great to know that there are still people out there willing to help and share their knowledge. Thanks. ( not kissing a-- .Well not much. )
