Install A Motion Light Without A Light Switch In The Bathroom







Having a light go on when you enter a darkened bathroom can be a convenience that also saves money by keeping the light off when no one is around. You can install a motion-activated light without having to do any wiring by adding a self-contained motion light module, available from select hardware stores and electronic shops, to the bulb overhead. No special skills are required, and you don't you need any tools.








Instructions


1. Unscrew the light bulb from the overhead socket of the light fixture. Screw the light bulb into the bulb socket on the motion light module.


2. Screw the base of the motion light module into the bulb socket of the light fixture. Press the touch-panel switch, if one is present, to supply electrical power to the motion light module -- if a pull cord is used instead, pull the cord once.


3. Exit the bathroom but leave the bathroom door open. The light will illuminate whenever someone enters the bathroom and turn off after a short period of time has elapsed after the person leaves.
