[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 479771, member: 28452"] It's really not possible to diagnose any further. The arrangement you describe looks ok, BUT if the lamp works on the switch with the red supply wires either way, then one is not a permanent supply as earlier guess. I'm sorry but you need an electrician with the test gear and knowledge to sort out what you have. I still think you should pursue getting the missing instructions with the fitting you have bought. You have probably guessed the connections correctly but there may be instructions for setting up the PIR time delay, daylight sensor, and maybe sensitivity, which may be confusing the issue, or which you will want anyway in the long run. Such items may not legally be sold in UK without information on their use. That's part of the CE certification rules. [/QUOTE]
