Outdoor lamps with sensor

When it comes to illuminating the exterior of your home, outdoor lamps with sensors offer multiple advantages. Here are some of the most important ones.

• Energy Bill Savings: The motion sensor ensures that the light is only on when you need it, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
• Security: By turning on when detecting motion, these lamps provide increased visibility in the dark and also deter people from outside our house.
• Comfort: Imagine arriving home and having the entrance or pathway light up automatically, without the need to search for switches in the darkness. This makes your day-to-day life more comfortable and efficient.
• Functionality: Some models of outdoor lamps with sensors incorporate additional features such as timers, dimmers, and remote control, making them ideal for adapting to all needs.

Outdoor lamps with motion detectors are always used in places where continuous light is not needed, for example, at house entrances, pathways, parking areas, or storage zones.

These outdoor lamps are equipped with a twilight sensor that measures ambient light to prevent them from turning on during the day. In most products, this sensor is adjustable, which is very useful.

For good perfomance, the motion sensor should be adjusted as precisely as possible. It can be configured to detect smaller or larger movements. It's advisable to try different settings to find the one that best suits your needs.

Some sensor lamps also allow you to adjust the time during which the light will remain on after detecting motion. This can range from a few seconds to several minutes.

Remember to adjust the sensitivity and the time settings of the motion sensors according to your needs. This will allow them to adapt perfectly to your surroundings

Outdoor lamps with motion sensors can incorporate different types of sensors to detect movement and control the light. Here are the most used ones:

• Infrared sensors (PIR): PIR sensors are the most common in outdoor lamps. These sensors detect a thermal image of people or objects. When this image moves in the sensor's field of view, it reacts and activates the light.
• Microwave sensors: These sensors work through high-frequency electromagnetic waves and detect frequency changes in the environment. They are very sensitive and can even pass through materials. Currently they are less used (PIRs are used more).
• Video sensors: Some models of outdoor lamps may include a video camera. These cameras detect movement and can perform actions such as turning on the light, recording video or sending alerts to your mobile phone.
