  • Yes I`d forgotten the Contactum pull switches - no they are pretty poor, I dont use them.


    Lampholders ashley and pendant sets BG my pref too.


    Yes PIR switches I didn`t mention - I found the friedland ones and some BG ok - can para up as relay output so I like them.

    Years ago, when PIR floods were quite new there was I think a Briish make and the PIR switch and flood were on separate joints of a longer stem. You could mont at a decent height for tamper evasion , get a reasonable target for detection and tilt the flood down enough to prevent blinding , all with a bit of care. They were expense though being relative new tech. Nowadays all the combined units seem to be so near that you either get a good target of a downish flood but not both to any great degree, therefore the separate switch and light option , of course the stan alone PIR often costs more than a combined unit.
