Backstop-
Don’t quite know. Think it’s a bit more complicated as it’s live in/live out/neutral terminals. And there’s an audible click of the switch as it goes on/off.
Think I’ve got it sorted. My guess is that it doesn’t like being switched on and off too much/too rapidly. So trying to test with a rag covering it up is just making it unhappy.
Disconnected to double check my terminations and it seemed ok after that (I assume it just wanted to be left off for a bit). Will leave overnight and see what it does. Just don’t want to be coming back to the job another time if I can sort it now.

Any tips for troubleshooting a photocell?
Was working fine last night. Added another light and now it’s not switching on when the cell is fully wrapped up (to simulate darkness).
