Replacing PIR sensor with Sensor Light

[bernardgreen]

It isn't clear from the pictures but if there is a Red, Brown and Blue wire going to the sensor module then MAYBE there is a switched Live.

If there is switched Live it may as EFLImpudence has mentioned not able to safely switch more than its own LED lamp.

Yes it is Red, Brown and Blue wires going to sensor. Can I add extra wire from one of sensor wires to make it work

If the Red wire attached to the LED driver panel goes directly to the sensor module then highly likely that is the Switched Live.

If the sensor makes a clicking noise when it turns the lamp ON then there is a better chance it will control other lamps, ( mechanical relay and not an solid state switch ) but you could still over load that contact.

Firstly thanks for your time and looking into it, yes Red is going directly to Sensor and yes it makes clicking sound when light is turned on.

Looking forward to further assistance

What wattage and type ( LED incandescent etc ) are the other lamps that you want the PIR to switch ?

PIR sensor light is 10W LED



Other 3 lights are E27 - 5W

Provided all the Lives and Neutral are on the same circuit from the consumer unit then this is the way to connect them
