I have a 500W Security light with a built-in PIR sensor.
See: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005OB0MVW/
It works fine, but if I'm outside at night I have to move within range every few minutes to keep it on.
So what I want to do is fit a switch to bypass the PIR.

I'm looking for a PIR sensor that will replace a standard light switch but the ones I can find are £40+, which seems a little silly considering you can get a standalone wall mounted PIR for about a tenner. Any recommendations anyone?

Hi guys,
