Hi - I wanted to rig up a PIR type sensor for the landing to switch
the light on - in my kitchen I used the sensor from a halogen
floodlight which works pretty well.

Can anyone recommend a sensor - I guess it would be useful if it could
fit in the normal single switch space since it will look across the
landing rather than down on it and maybe the cat wont set it off!

And ideas on prices or other useful comments?

I had a look and that's exactly what I was after - the only problem as
you say is they will come out at nearly 50 quid each with VAT and
postage.

Hmmm what to do - I guess there's only 2 places I'd use them on the
top and bottom landing. The alternative is a £5 PIR designed for
outdoor use like the one I have set up in the kitchen which works
fairly well.

I think I should probably spend the cash...
