Assistance with outside lights

Oh learned friends

I wonder if someone can help me out. I have two lights either side of my gates but I bought the wrong ones as they both have an independent air (so they come on/off not in sync)

Now I'm sure i've seen them before but I'd ideally like a sensor light that has a live or switch feed so that I can power the second when the first turns on.

Can anyone tell me what type of light i need to get..?

Ot shall I just go for a separate PIR sensor and wire it in line from the power.?

Thanks Ash

It depends how they are wired as to whether you can get to the switched live of the PIR - some lights let you tap into it, others don't...Where you wire the supply into, if there are 4 connections then you're in luck - otherwise separate PIR is the way to go.

I have some with a 4 way terminal block - Live, Earth, Neutral & switched live - so I could run additional lights by using the switched live (and earth & neutral) from the first one Thumbs Up

Thx Alistair

I'll have to remove one to take a look - I ran all the cabling and wired them up when I did the gate posts and gates but I can't remember if they were 3 or 4 core Rolling Eyes

Worse case, I'll pull them out and use a single 4 core with feed to the three core (without)

Do you have a name for the lights as none of them seem to have the extra switch live listed.? Ash

Sorry - can't remember, but when I opened the back there was 4 way terminal block.

You should only need 3 core cable - the other side go the PIR you just use the switched rather than permanent live.
