Interior pir for lighting

[Roger645]

I’m just converting one of our bedrooms to a dressing room and have reached the point of thinking about lighting. Current set up is a single ceiling light and for some reason there is a bathroom style pull cord switch which has been there since we moved in. I would like to fit a pir to control the light but but wonders if I needed to retain a switch as well as having a pir? I would also like a discreet pir so any recommendations would be great, I will use LED so it needs to handle switching that if that makes any difference?

Thanks all for the responses, really helpful and have given me food for thought.

As mentioned, very easy to do - fit a ceiling on and splice it in.

With regards to the switch, I left mine in place as it was in a discreet place and a) i didn't have to repair or blank off the faceplate and b) you never know when you want to kill power to it to replace bits without resorting to pulling fuses.

Great, thanks for the response, that's useful
