Installing a microwave motion sensor light allows you to save energy while making your lighting much more convenient. Light and kits available, suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
What is a microwave sensor?
Microwave motion sensor lights continuously emit safe, low-power microwave signals and measure the time it takes for the signal to reflect back to the sensor. This is called echo time.
When a person moves through the detection zone, they disrupt these signals and change the echo time. This triggers the lights to turn on.
What’s the difference between microwave sensors and PIR sensors?
While microwave sensors use microwave signals, passive infrared (PIR) sensors detect heat.
Unlike PIR sensors, microwave sensors can detect movement through materials like glass and walls, making them more versatile in certain applications. They also offer 360o coverage with consistent detection sensitivity across all temperatures.
Can I install a microwave motion sensor light outside?
Yes, microwave sensors are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They’re designed to withstand different weather conditions and can enhance security and safety in outdoor spaces.
Do microwave sensors save electricity?
Yes, they’re designed to be very energy efficient. They operate in standby mode when no motion is detected, consuming minimal power. The light only activates when the microwave motion sensor detects movement.
Are microwave sensor lights suitable for commercial spaces?
Yes, microwave sensor lights are commonly used in commercial spaces to save energy and enhance security. They’re suitable for various applications, including offices, warehouses, parking lots, and retail environments.
Where can I find product specifications?
Click through to a microwave motion sensor light product page, then select the Specifications tab. This provides information such as dimensions, detection range and time delay.
Do your products carry a warranty?
Our microwave motion sensor lights typically carry a 5-year warranty.
