Thanks for the help guys... I need three 'IR' sensors, I'll be more than glad to reimburse for any expenses incurred if you have to go out of your way to get these.  I'll await your replies - you don't mind posting them to me do you - I'll send a cheque in the post as soon as you find out.

Basingstoke did have motors last week ... I'll take a look tonight to confirm if I get chance.

I'll check to see what inventory B&Q has tomorrow and post back.  The item I picked up certainly looked to be an IR sensor and as I recall its packaging implied that it was, but since I went in to the shop to buy a wooden curtain pole and I wasn't really too interested in the Swish stuff (since they didn't have any motors) I wasn't paying to much attention.

Nope ... the light sensor is for dusk/dawn detection.

Just to clarify it's the IR sensor - is this the same piece of kit as the light sensor?

Similarly B&Q Reading has them (about 10 when I looked on Tuesday), I think they were around £13, I'm going tomorrow and could similarly pick some up.

I think that B&Q Basingstoke have some of the light sensors left ... if
anyone needs one then I'll drop in and see if they have any more.
