Non contact bathroom light switch

[TheCodboy]

Hi all,working on a bathroom refit and the customer wants some sort of non contact light switch in the bathroom. No pull cord or light switch on the outside,any of you guys had any experience with these types of thing?? Any advice would be appreciated.

You mean like a presence detector ?

I was looking at these tile sensors,probably great till it stops working.... I think they were talking some sort of wave your hand past type. I would imagine zones would still be an issue with that type of switch.

I can image a customer waving his arms around like a orange tang.

either a pressure floor tile switch or an occupancy sensor

Just point out how difficult it will be to replace when it goes wrong.... which it will!

Saw an install last year where the client didn’t want anything in show. Electrician used a microwave based occupancy sensor above the plasterboard ceiling in the loft space. Positioned just inside the doorway.

Another was positioned above the sink to light the mirror lighting.

Well if the tile sensor goes that could be an option!
