I want to extend the detection area of PIR to operate a single light.

Is this safe?

I have asked this question of a 'shed' helpline twice.
I have been told :-

'yes' once
'no' once

So I come to 'those who know' for advice :-))

Yes, this is perfectly safe - at least it was when I last posted here,
when I asked the same question :-)
I installed two PIR detectors[got these from wickes I think] in
parellel situated at either end of an dark alleyway which then switch
a single light in the middle of the path. Works a treat.
