Here’s an inexpensive 5 minute job that could earn you some serious brownie points this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Airing Cupboard (or ‘Hot Press’ if you’re from Ireland) is usually a dark place with a light switch thats always a awkward grope away.<\/p>\n

Sticking with the KISS principal, and therefore ruling out any fancy home automation, we recently\u00a0fitted one of these handy\u00a0PIR bulbs in ours.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0MSC 5 Watt 450 lumen motion and light sensitive PIR LED light bulb has a sensor activated by light and movement. Its cool white (6500k) energy saving bulb is the equivalent of a 50w incandescent.<\/p>\n

Now the instant we open the hot press door there’s a bright light and everything is easy to see. It’s a big hit with the better half too. Result.<\/p>\n

The MSC 5 watt 450 lumin LED bulb with PIR comes in B22 Bayonet or E27 Screw fittings and is available for around \u00a310<\/a>. In addition there’s a version with automatic dusk to dawn sensor too.<\/p>\n
