The method I described above, iinvolves (sic) no standby load at all.

Just as Harry says: The method I describe with a current relay (modified AC relay) also has zero standby load and no additional in use load either.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any discernable references to that which was "mentioned" in either case - on this site.
(Mea Culpa !)

Please advise of any "reference" ("Post Number"/URL etc.) for
"The method I described above iinvolves no standby load at all."
and/or for
"a current relay (modified AC relay) also has zero standby load".

I'd have a carefully positioned PIR light switch, with a decent length of overrun - but the thrill of potentially being plunged into darkness mid grind or mid drill if I don't move around enough is kind of exciting to me, a bit like doing metalwork at school without taking my tie off!
