Motion Sensor Housing
Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:39 pm
Not nearly as cool as an Aztec calendar, but perhaps a bit more useful ...
We picked up these exterior light fixtures a few weeks back to replace the old uglies flanking our garage door. They were deeply discounted, but we wanted motion sensing lights for that location.
The motion sensing options tended to be pretty ugly (by our taste), and quite a bit more expensive.
The Google helped me find a compact $12 motion sensing switch: http://www.vellemanusa.com/products/vie ... &id=525893
so I printed off a couple of ABS housings for the sensor. The switch fits in the box with the rest of the wiring. I printed a drill guide as well, so I could clamp the drill guide to the lamp base and drill it out to match the tapped holes in the printed housings.
Worked out well..
