Re: Security light motion sensors in parallel
dyarker - "If AC to the detectors happens to come from different phases you'll at least pop a breaker." - Help me understand this - it is fed from the same phase - there are only two wires feeding both sensor - a neutral and a hot leg (120 v). I agree with your statement if the sensor were...

Re: Security light motion sensors in parallel
sghioto - "The motion from one detector will override the dim function on the other." - that is exactly what I want it to do. The scenario is that the light would be on dim until either sensor detected movement, then it would go to full brightness. I assume the output of the motion sensor ...

Security light motion sensors in parallel
I want to use two motion sensors for security lights to control one light. The motion sensor I am wanting to use is a Defiant Model DF-5716 sold by Home Depot. This is a sensor that turns the lights on dim at dusk and goes to full bright when motion is detected. My question is, will connecting the r...
