Movement sensors are excellent security and energy-saving devices
Movement sensors, often featuring LED sensor lights and PIR (passive infrared) motion sensors, are excellent tools for enhancing both security and energy efficiency in homes. These devices can be seamlessly integrated into outdoor spaces, providing significant benefits through both security lighting and energy-saving features.
Movement Sensors & Security Lighting
Security lighting, equipped with motion sensor lights, can be one of the most cost-effective ways to keep your home safe. These sensor lights can be installed alongside new floodlights or can be retrofitted to existing outdoor lighting. Having a motion sensor and sensor light at the front and rear of your home acts as an effective deterrent to night-time intruders.
Prevent criminal activity by adding exterior lights that are triggered by movement. This not only secures your property but also illuminates your entryways when you return home at night, eliminating the need to fumble for keys in the dark.
Sunset switches are another option that can automatically activate outdoor lights at dusk. They can be programmed to turn on for a certain period after dark or to operate all night until dawn.
Movement Sensors & Energy Saving
The use of motion detectors indoors is another benefit, helping to increase the energy efficiency of your home. With sensor lighting, lights activate only when a human is detected in the room, often in just a few seconds. This contributes to less wear on the globes, resulting in lower replacement and maintenance costs. Manual control remains an option if needed. Additionally, the convenience of having lights that automatically switch on is a significant advantage.
Verification successful waiting periods ensure the system is functioning correctly. This energy savings efficiency extends to outdoor lighting as well, ensuring you don't have to leave a light on all night, which saves energy and avoids disturbing your neighbors with excessive light.
