Hi guys,

I am looking at having a outside light installed over a door, the light I am looking at uses a E27 bulb fitment which I am planning to use a LED replacement.
I would like to be able to switch the light between two brightness levels using a PIR so the light is on a lower brightness level all the time only to be switched to 'full brightness' when the PIR detects movement.
What would be the best method to do this?

Thanks
 
Just stick a dusk till dawn led bulb into the fitting...no need for two light levels imho. Burglars don’t give a Minnie’s about flood lights as they get ignored by everyone and will go out. They hate constant light at a reasonable level though.
 
my floodlightscome on for 2 minutes. time enough for the scroat to find his way to the back of the house.not enough to see the 240V trip wire next to the pond.
