Sensor LED downlights are motion-activated downlights that automatically switch on when movement isdetected, andthen switch off again after a set time (depending on the model).They’rea popular choice for improving convenience, safety, and energy efficiency in both residential and commercial spaces.
Where are sensor LED downlights commonly used?
Sensor downlights are best suited to areas where you want hands-free lighting, including:
Hallways and corridors
Entryways and foyers
Laundries
Walk-in robes
Garages and storage areas
Stairwells
They’re especially useful in spaces where you often enter with your hands full or only need lighting temporarily.
Do sensor LED downlights save energy?
Yes. Because they onlyoperatewhen needed, sensor LED downlights can help reduce wasted electricity—especially in high-traffic areas where lights are often accidentally left on.
Are sensor LED downlights suitable for bathrooms?
They can be, but it’simportant to choose a model with the correct IP rating for wet areas. For bathroom use, look for IP44 or higher, and if the fitting is installed near direct water exposure, considerI P65 where required.
Can sensor LED downlights be installed with a wall switch?
Yes — most sensor LED downlights can still be connected to a standard wall switch for power. The sensor controls the on/off operation automatically once power is supplied, but the wall switch can still be used to fully turn the fitting off when needed.
