At work, we've recently moved into offices in a newly refurbished corridor. There is, conveniently, a gents' loo at one end of the corridor. It's eco friendly - the light comes on as you enter, and, presumably, switches off when it thinks that you've gone.
There is a kind of vestibule as you go in. You go through one door into an area the size of a cupboard, then through another door into the room proper. The sensor which detects your presence is located in this vestibule. Which is nice - by the time you get to where you need to be, the lights are on.
There is a snag, however. If, for any reason, you spend more than five minutes in the loo (I'm told), the lights go off. The sensor is on the other side of the inner door, so it doesn't know that you are there. There is no other source of light ...
