PIR Sensors - 12v vs 240v
Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2021 11:46 pm
Hi guys
I'm going to use LED strips for lighting a hallway, I want these to be triggered by a PIR sensor.
What is the best way to do this?
Do I get a 240v PIR sensor that activates a constant current driver which in turn powers the LED strips?
OR
Do I use a constant current driver which powers a 12v PIR sensor which switches the LED strips on and off?
What are the pros and cons of both setups?
Kind regards
