    Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

    Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls turn lights on when movement is detected and off when an area is empty. They fit standard wall plates. All have a manual time delay that will turn lights off after a set amount of inactivity.
    Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat and require a direct view of the occupants. Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors detect changes in heat as well as motion to minimize false activations. You can set them to use one or both detection methods to activate and keep lights on.

    Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Switch Sensors. Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls.
    Detect motion near your light fixture to turn lights on and off. Compared to switch-mount motion controls that detect from a single wall, these controls have a better view of the entire space since they sense motion from above. Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls have an infrared sensor that activates when it detects a change in heat. To work properly, they need an unobstructed view of your space. All have a time delay to turn lights off after a set time. Rated IP65, these controls are protected from washdowns.
    These light controls monitor motion in a full circle for coverage in all directions.
    Half-circle sensing lenses are best for concentrating coverage to a certain part of a room, such as a workstation or an entrance.
    Narrow sensing lenses are best for the end of aisles in spaces with high ceilings like those in warehouses and factories.
    7,690 ft² Area Coverage—Those that cover 7,690 sq. ft. have lenses that can be swapped out to limit where they sense.

    Monitor passersby and trespassers with light and an alert. For facility security, these light controls notify you on a smartphone app when they sense motion and turn on. You can also use the app to link additional lights and configure which lights turn on when movement is detected. Also known as occupancy sensors, they use an infrared sensor to detect changes in heat sources, so they need a direct view of people. The included mounting bracket swivels 90°, so you can install them on your wall or ceiling.

    Customize motion-sensing light controls from your smartphone or tablet. These light controls connect to a free downloadable app using Bluetooth. Use the app to set schedules, control multiple lights remotely, and override the sensor function so you can manually turn lights on or off in the room. Also known as occupancy sensors, they also work without the app—they turn lights on when they detect movement and off when the area is unoccupied. These light controls fit in standard wall plates.
    Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and require a direct view of people occupying the space to activate.
    Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors minimize false activation by detecting changes in heat sources and motion. They can be set so that only one or both detection methods are required to activate and hold lights on.

    Rated NEMA 4X and IP66 for use in washdown environments, these controls have an actuator that’s sealed to keep water out. An infrared sensor uses body heat to sense movement. They turn lights on when they detect motion and off when a room is empty or there’s enough daylight. To work properly, they need an unobstructed view of your space.

    Smart Ceiling-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Light Switch Sensors. Smart Ceiling-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls.
    Fine-tune motion-sensing light controls from your smartphone or tablet. Mounting on the ceiling gives these light controls a clearer view of the room than wall-mount sensors, so they detect motion over a larger area. They connect to a free downloadable app using Bluetooth. Use the app to adjust the amount of time lights stay on after people leave, set schedules, or override the sensor so lights are always on. Also known as occupancy sensors, they turn lights on when they sense movement and off after people leave.
    Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and need a direct view of people.
    Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors have two detection methods to minimize false activation: infrared to sense heat sources and ultrasonic to sense motion. Use the app to adjust whether both or just one of these triggers will switch the lights.
    Dimmer Switch—Controls with a dimmer let you adjust the brightness of your lights.

    Wireless Networked Light Controls

    Create a network to sync your lights—no complex wiring, central gateway, or Wi-Fi needed. These controls let you turn lights on and off or dim them in unison from a secure Bluetooth network. Build a system of up to 100 controllers—when any two are placed within 100 ft. of each other, they’ll form a network. Hardwire them to any fixture with a 0-10V dimming circuit. Use a free app to program when lights turn on or off and how they respond to sensors.

    Controllers with a motion and light sensor turn lights on when people are present or dim them when there’s enough sunlight to illuminate your space.
    In addition to motion and light activation, you can set a schedule and configure these controllers to trigger lights connected to other controllers on the network.
    For 10 ft. Maximum Ceiling Height—Controllers for 10' ceilings are ideal for offices and other low-ceiling workspaces. They come in two pieces, and the sensor clamps into a hole cut in your drop ceiling near the controller.
    For 30 ft. Maximum Ceiling Height—Controllers for 30' ceilings are ideal for high bay lighting.

    Never worry about turning lights on and off again. These controls turn lights on when people enter the room and off when rooms are empty or are bright enough. They use both an infrared motion sensor to detect the presence of people and a light sensor to determine ambient light. They have a swivel bracket to aim the sensor where people will be.

    Smart Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Dimmers

    Control the brightness of lights from your smartphone. Using a Bluetooth-connected app on your phone or tablet, you can schedule when lights turn on, adjust their brightness levels, and set their movement sensitivity. Also known as occupancy sensors, these dimmers turn lights on when motion is detected and off when people are away. You can override the motion sensor function with a tap on the app to manually switch or dim lights. They fit in standard wall plates.
    Dimmers with infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and require a direct view of people occupying the space to activate.
    Dimmers with infrared/ultrasonic sensors minimize false activation by detecting changes in heat sources and motion. They can be set so that only one or both detection methods are required to activate and hold lights on.
    Power Controllers—For light controls with DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120V or 277V AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.
