Can you connect two motion sensors to light?

A light can be controlled with more than one motion sensor.

How many flood lights can you have on one switch?

There is no limit to the number of lights on a circuit. The load of the fixtures is what determines how many lights a circuit can accommodate. A conventional 15A circuit can have up to 1400W of lighting loads connected to it. A 1400 Watts lighting load can accommodate one 1400W fixture or fourteen 100W fixtures.

Is it safe to daisy chain lights?

Never attempt to work on live electrical circuits. Multiple light fixtures operated by a single switch can be most easily wired through a process known as “daisy chaining.” This is a simple, serial wiring scheme that connects the wires of the light fixtures one to the next in a single circuit.

Can you 2 way a sensor?

Yes, you can, under code, but you will also need to have ‘real’ switches also installed. As far as the second part write on a bit of paper, in marker, and stuff it in the the motion sensor junction box.

How many flood lights can you have on one circuit?

You can put up to 30 lights (based on 50 watt light) on a 15 amp breaker. You can put up to 40 lights (based on 50 watt light) on a 20 amp breaker.

How many lights can you daisy chain?

For example, if you choose a 120-volt power supply for daisy-chaining 10-watt LED tube lights, you will be able to connect 12 LEDs. However, to sail on the safer side, make sure that you do not connect more than seven tube lights to a power supply.

Is daisy chaining series or parallel?

A common misconception when doing receptacle wiring is that, when you daisy-chain them in a circuit, you’re wiring them in series. You’re actually wiring them in parallel, and that’s a whole different thing. Virtually all devices in residential circuits – except for switches – are wired in parallel.

How do you wire a motion light switch with two wires?

The black wires going to the motion light fixtures need to join together, but not on the switch, instead splice the two wires after the switch. One black wire for the switch as the power source. One black wire for light #1. Another black wire for light #2.

Can you have more than one motion sensor on a light?

In order to have more than one motion sensor or motion detector turn on the same group of lights it is necessary to wire the motion sensors in parallel with each other, in the same manner as the lights are wired. As long as at least one motion sensor is detecting motion, the lights will remain on.

How many wires do I need for a motion detector switch?

One black wire for the switch as the power source. One black wire for light #1. Another black wire for light #2. Installing motion detector lighting fixtures provide security and energy savings and they can easily replace an existing exterior wall fixture.

How do you wire two lights on the same circuit?

To wire this circuit in this manner, you will need to run a #14/3 between the two light boxes. This will allow you to connect the first light as you described above, and to run this additional light from the same switch by utilizing the red conductor in the 3-wire as the “switched” conductor, and the black wire as the continuous hot wire.
