Sensor Lights - Metropolitan Electrical Contractors

How Can A Motion Sensor Light Help?

Sensor lights can both be used as a security system and a helpful night light. Triggered by outdoor movement, they light up for a set period of time. It’s a great way to deter unwanted visitors and animals. Or, it’s a hand-free way for you to see the path while carrying the Thursday night shopping from the car.

You can also use a motion sensor light inside. In lower traffic areas it’s an energy efficient way to only have the lights on in a room while someone’s there. And when they go, it’ll automatically turn off.

FAQs - What You Need to Know About Motion Sensor Lights

If you're ready to find out more about sensor lights, keep on reading.

How do motion sensor lights work?

Sensor lights are designed to illuminate an outdoor area after detecting any movement. It does this by picking up heatwaves from a moving object, triggering a light which stays on for a set time limit. The light turns on whenever motion is detected. It’ll turn off after the object – either animal or person – moves away.

Sensors are used as a security system due to their ability to deter unwanted guests. Plus, they can be used indoors as a night light, brightening up any trips to the bathroom (or kitchen).

Depending on the model, it can have a range of 70 feet or more, and roughly a 240 degree of the surrounds. That’s why someone walking past on the street can set off a motion sensor.

Will an animal trigger a sensor light?

The difficulty with a sensor light is it doesn’t just react to humans. Animals will be picked up by the infrared detector, which can be annoying at times. Sometimes leaves blowing in the wind, or a car in the street, also cause reactions.

But that’s why it’s recommended to fine tune your settings to best suit the environment. You can decrease the range so your lights are not triggered by neighbours walking past or late night car cruises. Feel free to play around with the settings as well, so you can find the right balance.

Where should I install a sensor light?

It all depends on what the desired purpose is. Are you wanting to light up the doorway so there’s no key fumbling, or brighten the path for the last minute bin run?

Well, the great thing is, you can install sensors anywhere. Some of the most common places are:
