Don’t Let Dark Nights Catch You Off Guard.

As the clocks go back on Sunday, 27th October, the nights are about to get longer and darker. It’s time to ensure your home or business is fully prepared for the winter months ahead. With the right lighting solutions, you can stay safe, secure, and energy-efficient, even when darkness falls early.

Our range of PIR (Passive Infrared) Detectors and Microwave Sensors are the perfect companions for winter, providing reliable, automatic lighting control that responds to movement and heat. Whether you need sensitive motion detection or heat-sensing lighting, we’ve got you covered!

Microwave Sensors: Advanced Motion Detection

Microwave sensors are high-tech motion detectors, using high-frequency waves to monitor movement. By analysing echoes, they can detect motion even through thin walls, doors, and glass, making them ideal for full coverage in various environments. Their high sensitivity allows them to pick up minimal movement, making them perfect for areas that require constant monitoring, such as offices, warehouses, and large open spaces.

Recessed Microwave Sensor (PCMR): Ceiling-mounted with an adjustable reach of 2-16m and a time delay range from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.

Surface Mounted Microwave Sensor (PCMS): Ceiling-mounted with a 360° detection range, adjustable reach of up to 16m (radius), and time delay from 8 seconds to 12 minutes.

PIR Detectors: Efficient Heat-Sensing Lighting

Passive Infrared (PIR) detectors are excellent for detecting motion through changes in heat. By using multiple detection beams to monitor ambient temperature, they automatically trigger lights when a person or animal moves within the area. Once the area cools down again, the lights will automatically switch off, helping to conserve energy and cut costs.

PIR Stand-Alone Detector (PIRA and PIRAB): With a 90° swivel and 90° tilt adjustment, this high-quality PIR sensor covers distances up to 12m with a 180° reach.
