Could someone be so kind as to recommend a place to purchase PIR sensors?

Not the ones that must be hooked to a Prop-1 and so forth. Neither the ones that are transformed from flood lights. I have those. I need the ones that you can hook directly to your prop and are quite small. There's a Haunt company that sells them, but I can't think of the name.

Thanks!

Maybe something like this Empress? It's rated for 4 - 12VDC input power.
I have not purchased from the vendor however.

I think you mean that you want to connect to your event controller?

Exactly. We have two mat switches, two hand triggers and two flood light motion detectors. I'd like to use PIR Sensors, also.

Those look like the ones that you hook up to the Prop-1

I only use these for sounds anymore.
They're about as effective as the flood lights that you're using now.

Those are the ones Otaku brought to my attention. Those are not the ones I'm looking for. They are sold by companies that sell haunting supplies and are not enclosed in a case like that.

Ok, but these are an easy hack and wires do run to the event controller by 2 wires. These also run off a 9 volt battery.

Frightners, where could I get one of those and how hard is it to hack up?

I think I've got about 10 or more to unload. I'll see if I can find a link or maybe someone here has a link to a hack.

FE, are these the ones I hacked last year? If so, you have the how-to on your web site.

I make and sell unenclosed pir sensor trigger boards. I don't want to post a link here and get in trouble for self promoting.
