I could not get your link to work, if this is a mains type light then yes you can get an electrical standalone type PIR detector to work with with. I would recommend Steinel.

I think you might be better off posing your query here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1018

+1 on the steinel sensors brand.

Depending on your exact setup, It may work out to be cheaper to buy a floodlight with a PIR built in. straight swap on the wall and no need for extra cabling or drilling holes for a PiR to be mounted
