OK, I now have a sensor switch and an LD11 hooked up on the bench.

It all pretty much works exactly as I need it to!

I still have a couple of concerns, but I'm hoping these are just due to the
test conditions. - hopefully everything will be alright once it's in place.

Basically, the detection range seems very small, - about 3-4mm - I have to
get a finger *very* close to the sensor before it switches.

On a couple of occasions during testing it has got "stuck" - ie
the relay
remained closed even after I had moved away from the sensor, causing the
LD11 to go into and endless dim/bright cycle. - a quick re-operation of the
sensor fixed that.

Another thing I may try is using some nice looking shiny chrome switches
>from
LD11. Then I can use the same switch range for all the switchgear in the
bathroom...
