Hi All,
I need a bit of advice. My client is asking for a rather silly lighting setup in his bathroom and I am struggling to understand
Essentially he has LEDs, spots, a mirror light and a PIR sensor.
He wants the PIR sensor to control the LEDs and the mirror at night and the switch to be...

Hi, I want to add a PIR to a porch light but I want the original light switch to still behave as it always has.
i.e. both the light switch and the PIR can switch on the light.
The diagram shows what I want to do. The circuit is pretty simple and will work as I want. My question is this... Is it...
Driven by the recent colossal hikes in the cost of electricity I hit upon the wizard wheeze of replacing some of the existing LED bulbs in our own house with PIR triggered ones - especially in regularly but lightly trafficked areas such as the hall where we tend to turn on the lights and leave...
I've done my research to find the correct components but it kinda messy..

Hi Everyone
I need a little advice please. I have bought a Coast Outdoor Led Bulkhead & PIR which states on the instructions that it can be fitted vertically and horizontally. It was fitted by the electrician horizontally, but unfortunately it appears that the PIR is looking directly down...
Does any one know if a basic switchdim or touch dim ballast can be used with a Pir that's will dim the lights up and down in accordance with the level of light available?
Or is it just dimming on a retractable switch
I’ve got a basic PIR motion sensor that I’m wiring into my garage just before the ceiling light.
I’ve fitted it all fine and it works, however the light fitting requires an earth but the sensor doesn’t have a space for it in its terminal blocks. This is no problem and I’ve just joined the...
We have 3 wall switches which control the hallway lights. The wiring is as the picture below I downloaded (which implies this is a fairly standard wiring arrangement). I'd like to replace one of the wall switches (either Switch 1 or Switch 2 in the diagram) with a PIR switch but I can't find a...
Ok so I have a quinetic switch connected to a relay which turns it into a 2way switch..
I want one output going directly to the lights and the other I want going to the power of the PIR with the switched live of the PIR going to the lights..
I want it this way so when the switch is turned off...
Hi, moved into a house with Veritas R8. One PIR is faulty, stopping alarm getting set. Don't have engineer codes (tried 1234, 4321 etc). How can I permanently disable the zone which is faulty?
In my apartment block, our hallway has a mix of LED bulkhead lights (all same brand, 5 of them) some incandescent ones (x4). They are on a circuit with about 4 PIR sensors that span the length of the hallway (they all work, I hear the relays click in each one). When the timer goes, all but 2 of...
Any recommendations on good quality flush mounted PIR sensor that work well?
Need to install one in a upper market property, and had some poor experiences before with the stuff from the sheds.
Needs to be as flush as possible ideally...
Hi,
I have a downstairs toilet with two spotlights. I have recently replaced the MR16s with two GU10 LEDs. This has meant that my PIR makes the lights flash repeatedly.
I have another PIR in the utility which has 6 spotlights on (all GU10 LEDs) and this one works fine. I have tried swapping...
Hi All - Does anyone know if I can add a PIR to an existing zone that has one PIR on it. If so with the pir wired as in the picture where do I attach the wires on the panel ideally I want to use zone 3 or 4.
I'm not sure if the original wiring is using same colours as I have for PIR.
Many thanks
I design bathrooms and I'm wondering if it's possible to use the same ceiling lights supplied by both a manual switch and a flush ceiling pir going through a concealed dimmer as a night light.
Looking at most PIRs and from what I understand, if the bathroom rocker switch L1 supplies the lights...
