I've got a PIR controlled lamp outside the back door which is switched by a regular internal switch. We normally leave it on, so that the PIR controls the operation. However, I've noticed that when I switch the light off in the utility room (which is close by), it sometimes causes the outside light to come on. This happens intermittently, probably about every 4th time. Just wondering if I should be concerned, or something I just put up with?

Thanks

Neil
