A simpler and cheaper solution for automating the lighting to cupboards is
to use a mains rated contact switch on the door. Working on the basis that
you only want the light on when the door is open...
This works a treat for our cupboard under the stairs, and only cost a few
quid to implement. Keep the old light switch wired in series so you have a
manual override for the times you don't/can't shut the door.

p.s. Yes, DIY shops and people like Maplins sell PIRs like these, usually
combined with a light sensor for mounting outside to operate garden lights.
