PIR sensors to turn OFF light - assistance required

[u2fan003]

Hello all,
I require some help in electronics for an art installation for my Masters degree.

What I require is a to have a PIR sensor connected to a light bulb that is turned ON, and when motion is detected, the lamp turns OFF. When motion is not detected the lamp turns ON again.

I have PIR sensors (HC-SR501). I had seen this video

but it is only to turn the light ON.

Any help would be appreciated as I am new to electronics.

Thanks!

Use the PIR sensor to trip a relay module (see picture), and wire the lamp through the relays NC (normally closed) contacts.

Thanks alot for your reply! Will try it out.

The PIR output signal will connect to the relay module input pin, plus power and ground.

If the light operates opposite of what you need, switch from the NC contact to the NO (normally open) contact.
