Intruder alarm PIR will only latch on for a second or two. You would probably need some extra logic to latch on for a reasonable time period. Also, might want some logic to prevent it operating unless it's dark. -- Andrew Gabriel |

No mains available without digging up 100ft of garden, just a 12V
battery which I will charge periodically. Rob Morley wrote: In article .com, "JB" says... Are there any suppliers of such devices? Can you not just use a mains PIR to switch the 12V transformer? |

That would drain the battery very rapidly. Christian. |

240V at n/20 amps less some for the inefficiency of the inverter. Because it will draw loads of current when off, unlike a 12V PIR sensor. Christian. |
