Ceiling PIR Light

Hi there,

I'm looking for a Ceiling Based PIR Light. It's going to be installed in a fairly sized doorless cupboard which will contain my DVD's, and would like to avoid installing a switch as it will interrupt my shelving!!

Thanks very much/...

Tricky. You could use one of these,

there designed for outdoor but I think they look ok. If its for the roof then its not a lot of good. Sorry, could you buy a detector and wire it into the light on the roof and then fix the detector to the wall?

you still need a switch to isolate the light you install somewhere in line though you can purchase a 230v pir to switch any type of light these can be bought from most electrical wholesalers etc.Or use a lantern type or bulkhead as the previous poster said .
