Guest Alphonsox Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I need to fit some external standalone 180 degree PIR detectors around the house - Ideally black plastic, IP66 rated. Any recommendations ? The Screwfix ones I was going to fit have been replaced with a very poorly reviewed version.
Guest Alphonsox Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Hardwired with 3-core and earth (Sorry - Should have mentioned that)
PeterW Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Have used these before and they are pretty robust. PIR Sensor
Guest Alphonsox Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks both - I've ordered the Spectra versions, should be delivered tomorrow
Grosey Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I have that screwfix one, wish I’d read the reviews. It’s as sh1te as everyone says!!! 1

I did look at Steinel variants - they look far better than anything else but seem to be getting poor long term reliability reports (I checked Amazon.de which seems to have the most feedback)

Got a feeling my two standalone PIRs are Eagle brand and tbh they have lasted for years.
Nickfromwales Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 You won't go wrong with the spectra TBH, and a bit less obtrusive too. I prefer the others as they're a bit more directional but not much in it TBH.
