Too many sensors

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi guys iv been asked to help with a lighting sollution at this large family home 


They currently have 2 sensors (x2 and x3) connected in parallel controlling 2 lights (□1 and □2) - they would however like to add an additional 2 sensors (x1 and x4) and also a switch (● 1) to bring on the lights as when required (but not to switch the circuit off)


Adaptable box (■ 1) currently have the L - N - E - SW 


I would like to bring 3 individual switch wires from the 2 new sensors and 1 new switch back to the adaptable box 


We will then have the following number of cables in each connector block 


L - 4 wires

SW - 5

N - 4

E - 5


LIght 1 - 100w LED Flood

Light 2 - 200w LED Flood


Can anyone suggest a better way of doing this or is this method acceptable?


I feel a little apprehensive about all the cables in together but also don't feel it would be unsafe - just not ideal.


Any input winputted greatly appreciated.


I will also try add a picture of the plan.

    What I have done in the past (if the Sec Lights are ok in para - some are not) is to bring em all out to a ganged switch to common them up ie if switches are all off each one can be tested individually but those switched on form a common trigger for all lighting) say 2,3,4,6 gang
