[QUOTE="kme, post: 75647, member: 113"] r.e PIR & types of light. Some PIRs have issues with low loads e.g. CFL or LED. They can refuse to fire, or not put the light out once it`s lit. Also, remember that discharge (incl. CFL) needs 1.8 x wattage for startup currents. KME p.s. I`d prob. use SWA all the way to the locale of the light, then short final connection via flex (rubber or artic). [/QUOTE]
