SEBSON PIR Sensor Outdoor IP44, Wall Mounted, Infrared Motion Sensor, LED suitable, Range max. 12m/180°, swivelling, max. 800/400W, anthracite

Very clean and modern design - works really well and looks good

Like: Neat and compactDislike: Not much space for hard core cables. Silly little holes for cable entry, had to be enlarged.Silly little settings adjustment screws, but are marked reasonably clear.Would look at other makes.

I installed this myself but its not straightforward, however it works great!

Works it’s a little small in size but still does the job

Found it hard to set up the detection zone, the ball sensor was quite loose and it was difficult to keep it where I wanted to position it.

Here’s what I think: Why oh why would you as a manufacturer spend a small fortune on tooling up for an item that ends up as unfit for purpose?The incoming cable part of the case is so small that any wiring hinders the adjustment of the PIR ball.I spent some time wiring this with an incoming and outgoing supply for the both the PIR and the floodlight that I’m using.In addition I had to fit an earth terminal that’s required for the floodlight. Due to the crush of wiring theball wouldn’t move as it was blocked from doing so by the wiring to the three way terminal block.So I reluctantly stripped out the two three core cables and re-wired it using three very thin but adequate separate wires which then fed into a connection box that I’d now had to add.Even with just three thin wires the ball still didn’t adjust easily, and tended to spring back to where it was.What a shameful piece of badly designed junk!Oh, it does at least work ok though but I most certainly would not recommend this particular PIR.

I have myself to blame for not noticing the missing feature for adjusting the sensitivity, which is a shame because the rest of it is a very good product.Fitment is easier than others I have used, albeit a bit small and fiddly as the units are significantly smaller than many I have used in the past. If you have an uneaven wall (pebble dash / render etc.) I can imagine it being fiddly, as the screws for fittings are really close to one another.The adjustments are marked up a lot clearer than others too, which makes it easier to adjust.The angle of the sensor moves freely but also stays where you left it. As the sensitivity can't be adjusted, I could have done with a greater adjustment on the angles but that is because of where I have it, for general use it will fulfil most peoples requirements.
