Does anyone know of a PIR occupancy sensor that can be mounted into a grid switch. Scenario is existing single flush box that i need to fit an occupancy sensor plus key switch into.

Closest I have found is one from danlers but that only fits a euro module.
 
What type of lights and how many? Can you not use lamps with a built-in occupancy sensor and just mount the keyswitch in the gridplate? I'd be interested to know what solution you find, I've only ever seen ceiling mounted PIR's.
 
Fittings are all led with a mixture of downlights, recessed strip lights and a pl equivilant. Fittings are all supplied by others so no chance of changing them. Walls ceilings etc are all poured concrete with steel conduit system already installed. The existing single switch is in a small lobby and the plan was to change the existing switch to a PIR which would be easy. Only oversight to the plan was the addition of emergency fittings which need a key switch. I think the easiest option now will be to change the existing switch box to a dual box and go from there.

sounds like a plan. can't think of any alternative to that.
