Hello everyone, I am currently working on a project with LED strips in a diffuser channel in a corridor/hallway, I would like to know how I can connect about 3-4 motion sensors on the ceiling that will turn the lights on when motion is detected. Below is style I am going for, each channel will have its own 60w driver.

 

Hi Lugman,
Welcome to AAC,.
You can buy 230V mains powered PIR + Light fittings from Amazon UK.

Thank you, so I just connect the mains 230v live wire to the motion sensor?

 

hi,
You can buy some lights with an inbuilt PIR sensor.

What light fitting style are you designing.?

Edit:
This type can be used to switch ON/OFF remote light fittings.

I am using Led strips inside an aluminium channel.

 

hi,
What is the voltage & current ratings of the LED strips?

Voltage is 60w dc at 5amps

 

That's 12volts at 5 amps.
Is each LED strip drawing 5 amps?

I have not purchased the LED strip yet, i am planning on buying 12v 2835 60LED a metre, 5m strips at 20w per metre.

 

That's 100 watts at 8.5 amps for 5 meters.

yes thats correct

 

Maybe five 12 volt-10 Amp power supplies with five 12 volt PIR detectors that can switch 10 amps or the PIRs can activate additional relays or mosfets to handle the current.
