I am trying to find a security light that has 3 settings:
1. on/off by PIR
2. On
3. Off.

Its easy to add an isolation switch to turn it off, but not many seem to
have a user override (using a simple wall switch inside the house) to
put the light perm on.
Anyone recommend a particular model that will do this ?


IME many do have an override. With some it is a separate switch
position, with otheres it is a sequence slected one. So for example
turning the lights on-off-on again in the space of 1 second causes them
to stay on.

If you use a spearate PIR sensor with an ordinary light fitting then it
is simple to wire a two gang switch such that one can turn the light Off
completely, or place it into auto mode, and the second switch can
override "auto" and force it into "on".
