I think in the modern IOT world, these things are effectively obsolete. You have smart bulbs and mmWave sensors for a better result and you never have to faff around with mains electricity.
Sometimes you just want a solution. That'll sit and work and work and work and work for a decade or two and not need any apps, internet connections or anything else 🤣
@@backofficeshow I much prefer the relay myself, should be more robust than the undersized SCR I typically see. Other issues with SCR's are surge from an incandescent failure often wipes them out and other types of lamps like LED'S and Fluorescents often don't play well with SCR switching characteristics.

motion detector?
Interesting in that they used a relay as opposed to an SCR.
Probably cheaper and simpler in implementation?

Relays for the win! I found more on Amazon, would be interesting to see if they also had relays
@@backofficeshow Yeah, the MOSFET ones go bang in a spectacular way for anything over a few amps.
Empfindlichkeit hoch/niedrig = Sensitivity high/low
Ahhhhhh!!! That makes so much sense!! sense-itivity!! 😂😂
