Types of luminaires with motion sensors
There are four main types of lamps with motion sensors: ultrasonic, microwave, infrared and combined.
For the street, a wireless lamp with an ultrasonic motion sensor is ideal. Sound is transmitted to the receiver when the signal is interrupted - the lamp gives light. This lighting option is also suitable for large spacious apartments.
For residential and industrial premises, a wireless lamp with an infrared motion sensor is most often used. Such devices respond to temperature changes in the environment. A photo relay installed in such a device reacts to infrared radiation coming from a person. Experts consider this lamp to be an ideal indoor lighting fixture.
Microwave options are very similar to ultrasonic. The only difference is that the inclusion of light does not involve sound, but a radio wave. Combined luminaires are convenient in that they combine several types of sensors.
type of instalation
Wireless light sources differ in the type of installation. Ceiling lights are used for ceiling installations. They are great for stretch ceilings, as they are lightweight, do not heat up and at the same time give a good bright light beam.
Most often, the apartments use a wall lamp wireless. Devices that are mounted on a vertical surface, the easiest to find in the store. Very convenient desktop light sources. Wireless lamps can be moved from place to place. No wires or finding the nearest outlet. This is ideal for the school desk in the children's room. Often such lighting fixtures are used in exhibition halls, working as additional illumination. But to illuminate a picture or a mirror in an apartment, a wireless lamp will do just fine.
