Hey all,

http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...632305.1259278

the one in the link doesnt have a motion sensor but the one i have do.
does anyone have pics of these lights wired seperatly?

i want to make them 2 seperate spotlights and but the motion sensor in an all metal electrical box and have it wired to and extension cord. ive seend links with people doing that with motion sensors and spotlights.

basically imasking for 2 links one for wiring of the spotlights and one for the motion sensor build?

although i think i can find the motion sensor build
Thanks,
Chris

You bought the unit for the sensor. Is that correct?

Why would you remove the sensor and put it in an electrical box? Why not just get an adapter to screw into the flood socket and plug a non grounded extension cord to that?

What are you trying to control with this?

well because im using the light holders as spot lights.
and the motion sensor for another purpose. i had this idea and im gonna post pics and let me know if it will work.

i cut the head of an extension cord off and left alittle cord on the cut off piece. i mounted that in one end of the box and i plan to run the other end threw the other end of that box with the motion sensor on top coming tthrough the box. i plan to wire the cord back together with with the sensor if that will work.

hopefully my idea will work want to get some feedback. if it wont work what can i do to change my idea around.
