PIRs in Cupboards

["tracey.gardner" <tracey.gardner@xxxxxxx>]

It looks as though CPC do the type of ceiling mounted sensor
that I'm looking for, but I'm open to alternatives? :-)

They call it an Infrared Occupancy Sensor and it's designed to switch
either incandescent (5A) or florescent lamps (2.5A).

It's priced at £17.34 (inc VAT) and has,

10 sec to 15 min adjustable turn off time
Adjustable ambient light level control
Manual override for light on

Cheers

Tracey
