Motion Sensor

This document describes a motion sensor security light circuit using a PIR motion detector module. The circuit uses a 12V DC power supply to power the motion detector and relay driver. When motion is detected, the relay energizes to provide full power to the CFL light, which will remain on for 10 seconds before turning off again. The author's prototype uses a PIR sensor and 23W CFL enclosed in a water-tight cabinet with the PCB insulated from the lamp fitting.
