Help with PIR light sensor and a 10 second delay.

[timmmmmy]

Hello, I have searched but didn’t turn up much (I am a simpleton so please use small words). What I am looking to do it to attach some 12V LED strip lights to a PIR and to have a 10 second delay from when the motion is detected until the light strip lights up. From my understanding I think I need some kind of time delay relay? Does anyone have any ideas where I could get one from or how to build one? Or any better ways to achieve the same goal?
Any help is much appreciated.

Tomorrow I will have a good look around the forum to see if I can help anyone else out.

Use standard PIR
Connect output to HAGER EZ001 DIN TIME DELAY MODULE
Adjust the on delay period of the module to 10 second
Feed output of the time to a 12v driver for your lights

Simples!

But that Hager timer will surely come on instantly, and then go off after 10 seconds (if set to 10sec), won't it?

That's not what the OP is looking for - or have I miss-read?

No, it is a delay ON timer. There are other delay off, etc timers that do other things. See page 367 HERE
