Multiple Security Lights Activated At Once

Hi - we have one security (flood) light at the front of our house. We're looking to have 3 or 4 more lights around the house installed. I was wondering if it's possible to run these in a dasiy-chain style? I read that if I link all the L1s together, the PIR sensor will trigger all the lights.

 

Is this correct?

 

I have a fused switch inside the house which powers the one flood light at the front. I was planning to use weatherproof junction boxes to spur off to each light.

 

Thanks for any information!

 

Matt.

Depends if the relay can switch that much load

As James, most PIR type floodlights I have worked on though are capable of switching up to 1000 watts, so the capacity to run a few lights is available.

You could also put lower wattage lamps in, say 2-300w

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Or better yet LED...

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

 

My advice on this would be to get a competent electrician to do the job, asking the above would show that your a little out your depth.

Sorry :(

led wont give the light output of halogen. your theory is probably flawed.

Light output wasn't mentioned. So a larger led could be used.

Those led floods are not bad actually.
