E27 PIR Sensor Socket – Turn any bulb into an automatic lighting system in 30 seconds
Walking into a dark hallway with your hands full? Fumbling for the light switch? We’ve all been there. By simply replacing your existing bulb holder with this E27 PIR sensor socket, your light will automatically switch on when motion is detected and turn off once you leave — no rewiring, no electrician, and no hassle.
Note: This sensor is compatible with E27 base bulbs (LED, incandescent, or energy-saving) with a maximum power rating of 60W.
Why choose this model? (Key Benefits):
- 30-Second Installation — Simply screw it into your existing E27 socket just like a standard light bulb. No electrical modifications required.
- 360° PIR Detection — Provides full-room coverage rather than a narrow angle. Active range: up to 6 metres.
- Daylight Sensing — The built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor prevents the light from activating when there is sufficient ambient light, ensuring genuine energy savings.
- Adjustable Timer (10 seconds to 5 minutes) — You decide how long the light stays on after the last movement is detected.
- Adjustable LUX Threshold (3–2000 LUX) — Customise sensitivity so it works in dim hallways or only in complete darkness.
- Universal E27 Compatibility — Works with LED, incandescent, or energy-saving bulbs up to 60W. Simply swap the bulb, not the socket.
Performance and Specifications
The socket features an integrated PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor with a 360° detection angle, capable of sensing movement up to 6 metres away at an ambient temperature of 24°C. It operates on 110–240V AC, making it fully compatible with standard domestic electrical systems.
Two built-in potentiometers allow you to independently adjust the time delay and ambient light threshold, giving you full control over when and for how long your lights stay on.

Setup and Usage Instructions
- Switch off the power supply at the mains before starting installation.
- Screw the sensor socket into your existing E27 light fitting.
- Insert your E27 bulb (max 60W) into the top of the sensor socket.
- Adjust the LUX dial — rotate towards the moon symbol for night-only operation, or towards the sun symbol for activation even in daylight.
- Adjust the TIME dial to set how long the light remains on after motion stops (10 seconds – 5 minutes).
- Switch the power back on and test by walking through the detection zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it compatible with LED bulbs?
Yes. It works with any E27 bulb — LED, incandescent, or energy-saving — up to a maximum of 60W.
Will the light turn on during the day?
This depends on your LUX setting. When turned towards the moon icon, the sensor ignores motion when there is sufficient natural light. When turned towards the sun, it will activate regardless of ambient light levels.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes, provided it is protected from direct rain, such as under a porch, inside a closed light fixture, or within a glass-covered wall lamp.
Do I need special wiring?
No. It screws into your existing E27 socket in seconds, requiring no extra wiring or electrical work.
Is the 6-metre range guaranteed in all conditions?
The 6-metre maximum range is measured at 24°C. At higher temperatures, PIR sensor sensitivity may slightly decrease; this is a standard characteristic of passive infrared technology, not a fault.
