[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 407892, member: 18490"] Morning, I'm looking for current thinking on the best type and application of occupancy sensors as many threads on here are quite old. When is it better to use Microwave or PIR or a dual sensor for lighting? Ideally, which would you use in: Kitchen Corridor Store room Stairwell Large Hall if any. I've had issues with standalone PIRs, when controlling LED replacement fittings, that needed the Danlers Capload to prevent flashing. I try to go for fittings with built in sensors but this isn't always possible. Are there sensors better designed for LED or do I need to keep a supply of caploads? Many thanks!! [/QUOTE]
