    PIR LED with 4c tail

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a decent quality unit of 20-30w rating with a 4c tail so a manual switch can be connected? The on/off/on/off override type is not wanted and neither is separate PIR's. The present wiring to a number of knackered halogen units is 3c with a switch wire available.
