Hey,

I am trying to design a light for a studio project at school and I have some questions on the wiring and most importantly the motion sensor.

I am going to have two lighting groups, which will be a main flood light and then a group of LEDS. Mind you I really don't know what I'm doing so all the help I can get will be great. I want the system to work this way...

When I plug in the system I want the main flood light to be on, and then when the sensor is tripped I want the flood light to turn off and the LEDS to turn on. And these two lights would just switch back and forth every time the sensor is tripped.

I was wondering if this is possible and what kind of sensor I need and what wires I might need and how to hook them up?

I appreciate it

The easy one is if the sensor is on, the flood is on and if the sensor is off the LED's are on.

The other one is when the sensor trips the flood goes on/led off when the sensor trips again the led goes on/floods go off.

The first can be done with a DPDT relay.
The latter would require 2 impulse relays. The gotcha might be if they work with trailing edges, but I doubt it. You would have to set the initial state with a switch and a push button.
