WolvesAndi Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Need to make a pressure pad switch to turn a light on when they stand on a riser, any one know of a suitable switch ? Cheers Andi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 There are a couple on Maplin's site -intended for alarm sensor use and both sub £10. However these only switch low volts so you may need a 0 - 10v dimmer to take the pressure pad signal to mains level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henny Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 For the pad see - http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.j...=cpc/429195.xml how you are going to drive the lamp is dependent on what desk you havfe and what u want the light to do. one potion woud to use the pad to drive a latching relay to drive the lamp so when the person steps on the pad it comes on. feed the relay from a dimmer channel and you can fade out the light on cue, also allows you to provent earley actervation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
