Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are PIR motion sensor lights?
PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor lights detect heat and movement, automatically turning on to illuminate areas like driveways or entrances, enhancing security and convenience.
Where should I install PIR motion sensor lights?
Install facing likely approach paths and mount them 2-3m high near entrances, walkways, driveways, or gardens to light paths and deter intruders. Mount floodlights at least 3m high for optimal coverage.
Are PIR motion sensor lights energy-efficient?
Yes, they activate only when motion is detected, and LED or solar options further reduce energy costs.
What’s the difference between PIR and microwave sensors?
PIR sensors detect heat and movement, while microwave sensors have longer ranges and can detect through objects.
Will PIR lights stay on when I need them?
Many models include an override function to keep lights on for entertaining, and can easily be switched back to automatic mode.
Do I need an electrician to install PIR motion sensor lights?
We recommend a qualified electrician for hardwired installations to ensure safety and compliance with UK regulations.
