PIR ceiling light for bathroom?

[Roger465]

Morning all - the ceiling light in my girlfriend's flat is one of those that switches on and off as you move around - it doesn't have a manual switch.

It's started flickering on and off, and is very annoying. I opened it and tried adjusting the on/off time with the little pot inside, but it didn't make a lot of difference - it's obviously faulty, so I just want to replace it.

Could anybody recommend one from Screwfix? I prefer using them as I can just pop in locally, but I can't seem to find one using their search facility

Thanks

"motion sensor" ?

Screwfix do not have many, and might not be bright enough for a bathroom:

Hhmmm yeah that one looks good, doesn't it. Maybe have to abandon SF this time!

You could use a separate sensor which would allow a greater choice of light fitting.

I have moved away from the PIR sensor, too often it switched off at an inopportune moment, we have moved to voice activated plus time.

Does the light come on when guests say "where is the bloody light switch?"

 

[ericmark]

As long as I name it "where is the bloody light switch" "hey google turn on where is the bloody light switch" would work, but may be easier to use a shorter name.

'Ouch' (as I trip up)


Had PIRs in work bathroom.
The bathroom PIR had a very short on durtaion and was located near door.
If in bathrrom a bit too long, used to have to open cubical door in pitch darkness and wave arm out of door (with trousers around ankles) to get lights back on.
Or look a bit weird by waiting in cubical for next person to come into the pritch dark bathroom and activate PIR.

Actually... it's a while since I was in her flat, and I've now remembered that it actually IS a separate sensor anyway

Here's a pic - easy to replace just the sensor do you think? I wouldn't know how to choose one...

*Actually... do you think this one would be suitable?

Yes likely perfect.
But mark and then photo the wires in the old unit before you pull out the wires.
