Need advice for a suitable motion detector replacement

[royc75]

Hello

This wall mounted motion detector is broken and I would like to have it replaced (see attached picture).

This detector doesn’t have light integrated, instead it will just switch on / off bigger (non LED) lights it is connected to.

I am looking online for a replacement but think the ones I am looking at have LED light integrated in the product, meaning they do the lightning ? Example below:

https://www.fruugo.co.uk/outdoor-led-motion-sensor-switch-outdoor-90240v-180-degree-infrared-security-pir-motion-detector-detector-wall-light-switch/p-344283361-753882383?language=en&ac=google&utm_source=organic_shopping&utm_medium=organic

Anyone can suggest a suitable replacement please ? Ideally I just need the detector itself, it can be disconnected from the black box above it where the electric wires are (see second picture), so I would rather not replace the entire thing which would be a bigger job as well.

Many thanks

TLC do a range - I replaced mine a few years back

Mains 240v Security Lighting PIRs Passive Infra Red Sensors

BUT most are the entire thing , not sure where you would get just the detector

bigger (non LED) lights it is connected to.

may need more info on that detector and what it switches on/off

@ETAF Thanks, but do you think those would fit into the black box I have please ? It looks like they come integrated with it, meaning I will need to replace everything. As for what it switched on / off, two of those old school lamps at the door enterance

You're probably right.

This is the closest I was able to find to mine, would rather to avoid new holes if I can

My best suggestion to you would be this item, or similar.

I use a very similar item (at the Left) , here in Australia.

See

Also, the Screwfix price seems to be cheaper than that for which they sell here!
(See https://www.bunnings.com.au/hpm-light-patrol-security-sensor-light_p4410940 )

However, there are similar "units" - under different Brand Names !

I used the Luxomat from TLC to replace an existing setup earlier this year. Seems to the job very well

Are the mods/administrators right?

Am I the only one getting this with Screwfix links?

Google Search

Then click 'Shopping'

I don't know. It nearly always works fine for me.
It may depend on whether you have third party links enabled in your browser, or something similar.
Also the Screwfix (etc) site may not like it if it can't tell you're human, for example if you're using a VPN.
If I use a different browser I get different results.
You could try highlighting the link., right click, and "Search using... (google, etc)"
The query has been passed to the site owner.

That looks pretty close !

But it says “The sensor does not work with fluorescent lamps.”

As per my original post, mine isn’t LED

 

[Tricky-Dicky]

But your lamps are not fluorescent! They are filament bulbs
