iSTORM Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Are you looking to connect a 12v or 240v bulb to it? Can you explain a little more about your project? You dont need a panel nececeraly but you will need a power source and some relays depending on what voltage you want to switch?

drdan123 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Anything. either 12v or 240v. or the one which is easier for you to explain in writing. as i said i am new to security stuff. i wanna learn and see how these PIRs works first . then i will delve into camers later . but thats later. i appreciate that you take time answering me .

iSTORM Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 In all honesty your not going to learn alot about security getting a P.I.R to turn on a bulb! However it can be done, but you need to have an understanding of some electronics, all you will basicly be doing is using the P.I.R to pull in a relay that will in turn put a voltage across your bulb! If i get chance some time today i will draw you a diagram, but a good idea would be to pop along to maplin and buy a book called "Basic Electronics" Or somthing along those lines.
