Default Wanted - PIR recommendations, 360 degree outdoors

I want to fit a PIR to a corner of the house so that it will detect
people approaching along either of the adjacent walls. Strictly
that's 270 degrees but I've never seen a 270 degree PIR. :-)

I can't see anything that obviously fills the bill from Screwfix or
Toolstation.

Can anyone recommend something that will do the job and won't cost an
arm and a leg?


I've tried a few economical ones over the years but they all seem
to lose sensitivity pretty quickly compared to the Steinel that
they replaced...

Currently got a microwave sensor on another outdoor light, that is
doing very well.


Yes, I was wondering if a microwave one might be more reliable. What
make is the one you've got?
