Outside lights, controlled via PIR with override switch & timer?

[johnb2713]

The OP states there are 2 x 3 core going to the location which should do it.


I know that
You know that
We know that

Not sure why you put "Could it be that this "electrician" hasn't put enough wires in? Just a thought"

However I feel the 'electrician', may be a 2.5 ring/1.5 lights kinda guy

You think he could work out how to wire a 2.5 mm2 ring?

I've only just read all this, need a lie down now.
Do the cables from the PIR, timer, lights and switch all meet in a common space.

Seemingly yes.

Seemingly yes.

Needs another electrician then.

He actually needs an electrician, clearly this guy that’s there isn’t one.

I wonder if the 3 cores are twin and earth OR 3 core and earth?
To be fair I've been in hospital,and my medication is a bit severe and clouds judgement

Now theres a question, I read it as 2 cores and earth

Sorry to hear that, enjoy your ride on the meds!

Seemingly yes.

This actually hasn’t been confirmed and in the absence of photos I still remain unconvinced that we are being told the whole story …

Hi
After reading all the posts ,i cant help thinking the builder or Andrew is trying to do the install themselves . For two so called electricians not being able to figure the wiring Johnb2713 has drawn is worrying ,also not being able to fathom it out .
Andrew is wanting to dot the i's and cross the T's ,smacks of a non electrician trying to do the work on the cheap ,sorry !!

On the last rewire I did ( my mates mansion ) looped at switches but also ran 3 core and E to each light, just in case

On a slight tangent, but still relevant, back,in the day I went to test a job done by someone from NORWEB. Worst job I'd seen for years
I queried the NORWEB connection. He did work for them, painting sub station doors!
