I currently have one of those outside light kits with a motion detector in
it inside my enclosed porch. I am going to get the porch plastered with a proper ceiling as well so I have put the wiring in for a pendant light but can I get a light fitting with a motion detector in it. Alternatively I was thinking of one of those time delay switches that you get in houses with bedsits. Kevin |

Use a dawn dusk sensor http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/160705 and an energy saving bulb. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

It looks like you may need two sensors with your kitchen layout. If you connect the switched live that feeds the lights to the switched load on the sensors and took a permanent live to the live connection on the sensor then you can still leave the lights in the on position by turning a lightswitch on. The timer usually starts when movement stops on these sort of PIRs. HTH Adam |
