PIR LED with 4c tail

[Deleted member 9648]

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a decent quality unit of 20-30w rating with a 4c tail so a manual switch can be connected?
The on/off/on/off override type is not wanted and neither is separate PIR's. The present wiring to a number of knackered halogen units is 3c with a switch wire available.

why not replace the existing tail?

That would void any warranty available

May not be possible, depends on whether the lamp wire can be accessed inside.
Found Steinel units apparently have a sw connection in a terminal block, but the only flexed unit I can find with a sw wire is the dreaded 'Red Arrow' brand. For anyone who has not used these before.....Don't.
Seems it might be Steinel then.

I'm pretty sure with the Steinel fittings the 'SW' connection is for connecting a slave fitting. A 230v supply across SW and N won't override the PIR and turn the floodlight on. The only thing I dislike about them. Surely it would be possible to manufacture so it could work like the good old days!?

Info on the Steinel came from CEF....I'd better check that with the manufacturers, thanks for that....Seems it might have to be separate PIR's then.

PIR LED floods are usually shyte, we often fit a separate PIR near the light, the PIR is then fully adjustable and provides a connection point for the floods little flex. It is then easy to add extra switching or PIRs.
