    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...

    Looking for "additional" functionality in PIR operated LED bulbs

    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...

    Bypass PIR Motion Sensor for Earth in Clean Manner

    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...

    LED PIR flood light (flashing)

    I put it up myself just 2/3 years back. Suddenly, out of the blue, when triggered it it flashes on/off/on/off repeatedly for the prescribed on period. Knowing why it does that would be nice but either way I presume it's dead/dying and needs replacing. It's on the wall adjacent to the bedroom...
