Default Lights and PIR advice.

We have a PIR which activate the lights and the side of the house,it also activates a light we have in the back garden.
Can I fit a switch which will light up the back garden light without the PIR being activated,if so what is required?

Cheers
Rich

do you want both lights on or just the one on the back garden, as they will both come on.

Not too fussed if the side ones come on,we just want to switch the back garden ones on when we're out there.

Set the pir for longer?

Some lights if you have a switch fitted will let you over ride the pir by turning it off an on twice

Sorry I forgot to mention,the PIR is at the side of the house so it won't activate when we step into the back garden.
There is a switch in the kitchen cupboard Jay so will try switching it on&off twice

Mine can be overridden the way mentioned, but will switch both side and garden if wired together
