Hi,
	I was just curious to know how motion sensors work ? We have one
installed in our lounge which turns the lights 'On' when someone enters the
room. If someone moves in the lounge, an LED mounted on the sensor turns on
and goes off as soon as the movement is stopped - is this a pressure
transducer at work ?
