Sensor switches?

[andygee]

Hi

I am looking to find a sensor switch for a bathroom cabinet I have built.
I want the type that some units are using behind mirrors which rely on motion and not touch. The type I have seen is like a peep hole eye you see in doors and must have a beam which when broken switches lights on and off.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Andy

You havnt stated what the load is that the switch will be controlling, mains, 12v, what the wattage is? There may be Zonal issues?

The cabinet is 40cm above the worktop and sink and the lights are 2 x low voltage ( IP4 I believe ) bathroom rated being supplied by my electrician.

Oops the lights are also on the underside of the cabinet.

Thanks

we need to know both voltage and wattage in order to look for suitable switches.

 

[andygee]

The low voltage lights are 12v and the bulbs are 20w.

Maybe one of these and a magnet?
