Default wiring help

I have rigged up PIR to flood indoors to check it before installing
outdoors. When wired up the PIR `clicks` and also using a non contact
voltage detector it appears that live is getting through. However the
flood does not light (LED)
To save me reconnecting everything would it be ok to take the wires
going from the PIR Live & Live switch (leaving neutral as is) to bypass
the PIR in order to check the flood is still working.
The flood was working ok prior to final hook up but trying not to take
it all apart if I can check as is.

Also is it ok to reverse the live and live feed on the PIR to see if
that changes anything.

Trying not to blow myself up so guidance appreciated.
