I changed the screw-thread 60w tungsten bulb for an 11w low energy
job and now it won't turn itself off. Any ideas why?

What is the point in putting a low energy bulb in a PIR light when it
takes a lifetime for the bulb to fire up Even then it will be
useless. All to save what - a couple of pence.? or , and the world


Ok... It seems to fire up immediately, it's as bright as the bulb that was
in there, the low energy bulb claims a life of 10 years and cost 7p, and...
because I ****ing wanted to. Happy?
