I am not an electrician.
I have a set of LED lights I fitted in my kitchen and would like to retro fit them to be motion sensitive, so when I approach my kitchen area they would just switch on automatically.
The following set I purchased is not available any more, but it's similar to this: **broken link removed**
Here are some pictures of the lights set up:

What I was thinking of doing was to add in a motion detector in-between the mains and the lights, but I don't know if these following is compatible: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/5hp/KKIW...qid=1497807695&sr=8-14&keywords=motion+sensor
I don't know if it might just better to go with flexible LED strip instead, but I have the lights set up now and would prefer to modify them. The sensor's detail an operating voltage of DC 5V-25V and a load current of 3A, my lights are DC 12V and a maximum of 0.42A 5W.
I really don't know what to do, is it safer to start again, or can this system be easily modified?
