I currently have one of those outside light kits with a motion detector in it inside my enclosed porch. I am going to get the porch plastered with a proper ceiling as well so I have put the wiring in for a pendant light but can I get a light fitting with a motion detector in it. Alternatively I was thinking of one of those time delay switches that you get in houses with bedsits.

Mount this inside the porch and wire it to the light.
Use a dawn dusk sensor
What an ugly thing to have sticking out of your porch light socket plus the fact of banging your head on the bulb if the ceilings low?
Erm! was you having a blond moment?
Or maybe a
mounted in/on the ceiling.

Hey, that may have answered my question (see other Motion detection thread) as well Adam, thanks! ;-)
All the best ..

I have just read your post Tim.
It looks like you may need two sensors with your kitchen layout. If you connect the switched live that feeds the lights to the switched load on the sensors and took a permanent live to the live connection on the sensor then you can still leave the lights in the on position by turning a lightswitch on.
The timer usually starts when movement stops on these sort of PIRs.

I tried these for when I went on holiday and they don't work, well the ones I bought didn't.
