Hi
In my hallway I have several led floor lights that are plugged into a wall socket
Can I add a motion sensor so that they switch on when I walk into the hallway
Thanks for any help

Welcome to the forum mate.
So currently you switch the floor lights on by switching on the socket?
You could add a motion sensor to switch these light on but you would have to put it between the socket and the lights.
I'd also get a sensor that has a Dusk function, so that the lights don't come on during the day, when it's light.
 
Thanks for the reply
Can you recommend a sensor
Doesn't really matter about dusk, as it's quite a dark hallway

Hows your current lights installed and operated?
Is it as I have mentioned above?
 
I'm presuming that the cable from the socket to the floor lights will most probably stay at skirting board height.
It would be better to know the layout of the lights and where the sensor is going to pick a sensor.
Any chance of uploading some pics.

Yes skirting board height. Can't really upload pics as at my sons house. Was just trying to help him out
Don't worry about it. But thanks anyway

Get your son to send over some pics to you and you can then upload them.

Just need to find one with uk fittings
