Hi All,

I've bought a motion sensor (snigger) to replace the pull cord switch in our downstairs cloakroom. Having now looked at the wiring to the existing pull cord switch it appears there is no neutral wire that the new switch requires. I guess I need to return this switch & get a different one that doesn't require the neutral connection.

Having googled for a couple of hours, I found one website that says such sensors do exist, but I just cant find any online, in fact most of the switches don't specify whether they do or don't need a neutral, but when you look at questions people have asked about the products, someone has normally asked the vital question and they all seem to need a neutral.

Can anyone offer advice on whether they do exist & where they can be found?

Thanks
