How odd, unless of course you live in Alabama or Mississippi or somewhere equally ill-educated.

You need to run the slave light (no PIR) in series after the main light with the PIR, it will have a 3rd terminal which will send power live down it on activation. Wire that to the live of the slave light. If you pop down B&Q one of their nice chaps will sort you out. Make sure the Main light you buy has the 3rd terminal.

You also need to ensure that the chain of lights you have does not draw too much current for the pir switch, or any of the other components.

and you can disable the PIR light by using a laser pen (you know the ones the kids use to blind bus drivers or police heli pilots) on a bit of blue tack with the button taped down.

If you bring the laser carefully down onto the central part of the PIR sensor, it will de-activate so as to allow you to walk up the path/drive without the sensors going off and illuminate you. Its a bit of trial and error, doesn't work first time unless you practice.

pir halogens wont deter your good old honest pikey......round our way we normally hang one of the inbred illiterate lying cunts from a lamp post outside the scrappy
if you are going to use lights....use the led type .....saves you on leccy.....also fit a mesh screen or thick acryllic screen...stops em shooting them out with air rifles but if they have anything bigger than airguns...see that guy from out east who wasted a gypo and borrow his shooter off him..........make sure you shoot them in the front.....self defence blah blah blah

Thank you all.I went down the easier route and got another light with a pir built in. £8 from Wickes!
