outdoor sensor lights

gambit83

Hi,

Just looking for some advice on putting up outside sensor lights around the house? I've been waiting for a electrician the last few months but is it something that can be done without a electrician?

Thanks

If you already have a cable going outside, eg. for an existing outdoor light and you want to swap it for a motion detection light, then yes it's easy.

If you don't, then probably best to get an electrician.
I've done a lot of DIY electrics, a few motion detection LED lights, light sockets, light switches etc. but wouldn't fancy trying to find an existing cable in the house to split, drill through the external brick wall and route the cable out.

You’ll be leaped on now and be told no it’s illegal

It’s handy enough to do if you know what you are doing but not necessarily a qualified electrician
