Hi,need help.im trying to change my outside canopy light which is switched to a pir led but still want it to work with the switch.2 lots of wires from canopy are 1=2 live & earth.2=1 live 1 neutral 1 earth.new light fitting has 1 live & neutral. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
If I've understood your text correctly you have a permanent live, a switched live, a neutral and an earth (?).
Your new light is not designed to do what you want.
You need one where the switched live is accessible as well as permanent live.
