    Fitting a PIR Half Lantern

    Thanks again for the info. Righto, Sure Im ok with it now. In the manual it says item does not need an earth, but has a location for one if an earth cable is present. Water ingress should not be a problem as the light is going to be within a largish porch canopy. I probably will go with an...

    Demistify me...

    whats the difference?

    The 3.2 gig you refer to is only if using a 32bit OS. The PC I'm typing this on is running 8gig. Its horses for courses with what system you go with, but for pure number of choices its got to be PC all the way, support for PC's is a lot more widely available. MACs are good, dont get me wrong...
