I design bathrooms and I'm wondering if it's possible to use the same ceiling lights supplied by both a manual switch and a flush ceiling pir going through a concealed dimmer as a night light.
Looking at most PIRs and from what I understand, if the bathroom rocker switch L1 supplies the lights normally and L2 from the switch feeds permanent live to the PIR, the SL output of which goes through a dimmer, the night-level lighting will come on whenever the lights are turned off, even when no motion is detected. I want to avoid this.
Are there any PIRs that don't activate when initially powered-up? I've also looked at switching using volt-free contact ones but I don't think this solves anything either.
Can anyone recommend a suitable ceiling PIR or a configuration that will work as needed? Thanks
