How does a sensor light work?

Sensor lights illuminate outdoor areas after detecting any movement, animal, human or even vehicle. It works by sensing heatwaves, triggering a light which stays on for a set time. The light turns on whenever motion is detected. It’ll turn off after the object moves away. Sensors are a great security system due to their ability to deter unwanted guests. They can be used indoors as a night light, too. Depending on the model, sensor lights can have a range of 70 feet or more, and roughly a 240-degree view of the surrounds.

Can animals trigger a sensor light?

Animals will be picked up by the infrared detector, which can be annoying at times. Even a car driving past can cause your sensor light to go off if it's sensitive enough. That’s why we recommended fine tuning your settings to best suit the environment. You can decrease the range so your lights are not triggered by unwanted distractions.

Are sensor lights good for security?

Yes, motion sensor lights definitely boost your home security and safety. Motion triggered lighting makes your home safer and can deter potential intruders. LED sensor lights also make outdoor and indoor living spaces easier to navigate and offer ambient lighting in a room without needing to use a light switch.

Our team of electricians offers a wide range of expertise in security lighting and motion sensor lighting is part of that knowledge.

Sensor lighting is a system designed to illuminate a light source once movement has been detected.

Once a motion sensor has detected heat waves from moving objects, a light will be triggered for a set amount of time before turning off again. If the motion is detected again, the flood lights will turn on again until the object moves away.

Sensor lights are often used as a security system, detecting movement in dark places that may attract unwanted visitors or not produce enough light for your own safety.

Sensor lights can also be used indoors, a safe option for night lights that don’t need to be turned off.

The ambient light provided by indoor sensor lights can help people avoid falls and other accidents. Both outdoor lighting and indoor sensor lights will put you in control.
