Contactor or this PIR

[uksparks]

Hi,

Got a job to do next week, just wanted your opinion on it really,

I am fitting a Dimplex IRX2000 Infrared Heater 2kW, and it needs to come on automatically when someone enters the room, only a small outside toilet.

Anyway, I was going to put it on a PIR with a contactor, but then just looking at the PIR it says "Switching capacity: 2000W incandescent and 500W fluorescent."

What do you think? A contactor would be the better option I would have thought.

I was going to use this: LAP Indoor Ceiling Flush PIR | Light Sensors | Screwfix.com

a 2kw pir with a switching a 2kw load that frequently wont last long at all, just fit a contactor.
