Motion Sensor Lighting

When someone, or something, passes through the sensors’ ‘field of view’ the sensor detects the movement and turns the light on.

Where To Install Motion Sensor Lighting

· Dark areas of the outside of a house and garden.

· Areas thieves are likely to target, for instance the rear of a home.

· About 10 feet above the ground to get good area lighting.

Where Not To Install Motion Sensor Lighting

· Where it is likely to annoy neighbours, for instance shining into a neighbours window.

· Where ‘nuisance activations’ are likely, for instance where the sensor field of view covers a public path.

· Where a neighbour, on their property, is likely to trigger the light.
