Motion Sensor Switches For Lights

A motion sensor switch for lights is a device that is used to automatically control the lighting in a room or area. It utilizes a sensor that detects motion and turns on the lights when motion is detected. The switch can be programmed to adjust the length of time that the lights stay on, as well as the amount of light that is emitted. It is an energy efficient device that can help to save on electricity costs. In addition, motion sensor switches can also be used to provide added security to a home or business by deterring intruders. The most common type of motion sensor switch is a passive infrared sensor, which detects infrared energy released by humans, animals and other objects. This energy is then converted into an electrical signal that triggers the switch. Other types of motion sensors include microwave, ultrasonic and dual-tech motion sensors. Motion sensor switches are commonly used in homes, offices, and warehouses, as well as in public places such as malls and airports. The use of motion sensor switches is
