PIR light

[Pinkkath]

I've just changed a outdoor light to a PIR motion sensor sensor fitting, it is also connected to a day/night photocell when I turned the power back on nothing happened, I tried disconnecting the separate photocell but still nothing happened and since changing the fitting the light above the garage that I haven't touched didn't come on when I turned the power back on

please post photos of all the connections.

Can you borrow a multimeter?

Try to follow the cable route, especially from the garage light to the supply. Is there one of these?

It contains a fuse that might have blown if you made a mistake

It's fed straight fromeo distribution board there's seems to a supply cable to the photocell and a supply cable to the light a cable from the photocell is then connected to the light along with the light supply. the new light has no earth connector so that is just in a terminal block

The PIR motion sensor fitting will have its own internal photocell. Why do you need an extra one. This may be cause of your problem!

please post photos of all the connections.

Or - rewire it correctly.

You've b******d something up.

I wired it exactly as it was cant get lives and neutrals mixed up I'll remove the photocell from the circuit and see if that works
