[QUOTE="Dom1980, post: 520623, member: 34288"] Hi All - I'm connecting a PIR outdoor light fitting. - Which I want to connect to another wire leading to the main power supply. - This main wire only contains Black and Brown wire colours within only. (No earth) Therefore I would like to know , from the PIR Light, which has 3 internal Wire colours - Blue, Brown, Yellow/Green - - I connect the (LIVE) Brown to Brown . . . - Then do I connect the Black ? (to the Blue - Neutral ? ? ?) - And then what should I do with the Yellow/Green left over wire , insulation tape ? _ I thought this would be a doddle :) , but the jury's completely out on this one. BIG Thx to anyone for jumping in, maybe saving my life ;) [/QUOTE]
