Why would you assume they were on the same circuit?

On a installation that meets the IET regs than I would expect them to
be on the same circuit.

However I assume nothing as I have seen some right bodge jobs (and
not just from DIYers).

Assuming someone else has done something a particular way is stupid,
which is why you don't. So you've just answered your own question.
It's not dangerous to have two circuits, as people like you check.

You cannot always tell if two circuits are/may be connected together
via bad workmanship unless you have stripped the house apart to check
every last electrical connection.

The best solution is just to wire the job up correctly in the first
place.


As I've already said three times, you walk in front of both PIRs and make
sure neither make the wiring live.


I have a PIR I walk in front of and the light dosn't activate. Is that a
faulty PIR or a faulty lamp or something else?


The daft apprentice says it is because the sun is shining:-)

Took him 2 hours to work it out.


Only a problem if you take so long to rewire the lights that it gets dark. Anyway, you'd hear the PIR clicking or something. For some reason most still click even though they are disabled due to light levels.
