Indoor Sensors

Choose indoor sensors based on the area being covered, brightness, sensor range, detection angle, IP rating and power source. Sensor and security lights are useful for entrances, side paths, driveways, garages, sheds and outdoor areas where visibility is needed automatically.

Sensor range determines how far away movement can be detected. The best range depends on the mounting height and area size. A wide detection angle suits open spaces, while a narrower sensor can be better for side paths or targeted areas.

Neutral white or cool white is often chosen for security lighting because it provides a brighter, clearer appearance. Warm white may suit decorative entrances or outdoor living spaces where ambience matters more. Check the lumen output as well as colour temperature.

Many sensor lights can be used in covered outdoor areas if the IP rating and installation instructions allow it. Exposed locations need higher weather protection. Always check the product rating and ensure the sensor has a clear view of the detection area.

Many sensor lights allow adjustment of the detection range, light duration, sensitivity or day-night threshold. Some also have adjustable heads to aim the light. Settings vary by product, so check the specifications if you need more control over operation.

Solar security lighting is useful where running cable is difficult and the panel can receive strong sunlight. Hardwired lighting is generally better for consistent high-output performance. The right choice depends on brightness needs, installation location and available power.

Yes, sensor lights are commonly used near driveways, garages and entry points. Position the sensor to detect people or vehicles without being triggered too often by passing traffic, trees or neighbouring movement. Mounting height and sensor direction are important.

Hardwired security sensor lights should be installed by a licensed electrician. Solar or battery-powered models may be DIY-friendly depending on the product. Always follow the installation instructions and confirm the light is suitable for the location.
