[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 479740, member: 28452"] Well, it's guesswork but the two red wires from the wall are PROBABLY a switched live via your inside switch to put the light on permanently, and a permanent live, to supply the PIR. You really need a means of testing to check which is which. In that case, the permanent live goes to the PIR sensor and the switched (over-ride on) supply to the connection between the PIR sensor output and the lamp. Regarding the fitting it should have a connection diagram supplied with it (?}. If it doesn't head back to Homebase and insist they get you one. We could guess at those connections too, but you definitely shouldn't have to. [/QUOTE]
