Depends if you want it to come on when the light is off!

Never heard of one before, but if its basically a light with a mirror on it controlled by a PIR then you will need just a Perm to it if you want to use the PIR to switch it.

If you want to dump the PIR and use a light switch then put a switched live to it and bypass the PIR.

why has it done that, prob because double clicked, i will have a look.

dont mind that it only works when the lights switched on, but would not be happy if it came on with the lights and then went off after a few mins

you need to bypass PIR and wire it into the sw live then. No?

well basically its just got terminals for L E N and a pir you put your hand in front of to turn it on and off, its is a lot easer for me if i take switch Live E N from light.

but what i dont know is will this switch the light on or just the sensor ready for it to be turned on

With most PIRs when the power is switched on they come on for their defined period! Wire it up to a 3 pin plug and have a play.

's what I'd do.

yer will have to have a play, hopefully it will just switch on the sensor.

would it be bad to take a perm live from the switch and a neutral from the light ?
