Key Features
1. Motion Detection:
- Types: Passive Infrared (PIR), Microwave, Ultrasonic, and Dual-Technology sensors.
- Description: Motion sensors detect movement within a specified range and trigger the light to turn on or brighten to a set level. PIR sensors detect infrared radiation from moving objects, while microwave and ultrasonic sensors use waves to detect motion. Dual-technology sensors combine multiple methods for enhanced accuracy.
2. Auto Dimming Functionality:
- Range of Dimming: Typically from 0% (off) to 100% (full brightness).
- Description: The light automatically dims to a lower level (e.g., 10-30% brightness) when no motion is detected, conserving energy. When motion is detected, it brightens to the preset level (e.g., 70-100% brightness) for better visibility.
- Adjustable Dimming Levels: The dimming level can be set manually to customize brightness based on user preferences or environmental needs.
3. Ambient Light Sensing:
- Feature: Integrated photocell or light sensor.
- Description: Measures the ambient light levels and adjusts the brightness of the light accordingly. For example, the light remains off or at a low dimming level during daylight hours and only activates or brightens in low-light conditions or at night.
4. Sensitivity Adjustment:
- Range: Adjustable sensitivity for motion detection (e.g., low, medium, high).
- Description: Allows users to fine-tune the sensor’s sensitivity to avoid false triggers from small animals, blowing leaves, or other minor movements.
5. Detection Range and Angle:
- Range: Typical detection range is 10-40 feet, with a detection angle between 90° and 360°.
- Description: The range and angle determine the coverage area for motion detection. Wider angles and longer ranges provide broader coverage, ideal for large spaces or open areas.
6. Timer Settings:
- Range: Adjustable time delay from a few seconds to several minutes or hours (e.g., 30 seconds to 30 minutes).
- Description: Controls how long the light stays on or remains at a higher brightness level after motion is detected. The timer resets with continued motion detection.
7. Control Options:
- Types: Manual override, remote control, smartphone app, and integration with smart home systems.
- Description: Various control methods allow users to customize settings, such as dimming levels, detection range, timer, and sensitivity, or manually turn the light on/off.
8. Power Source:
- Types: Hardwired (120V/240V), battery-powered, or solar-powered.
- Description: Hardwired motion sensors are suitable for permanent installations, while battery and solar-powered options are ideal for areas without easy access to electricity.
9. Energy Efficiency:
- Features: LED technology, low standby power consumption, and high-efficiency motion detection.
- Description: LED lights consume less power and have a longer lifespan, while efficient sensors reduce unnecessary energy use, further lowering costs.
10. Smart Features and Connectivity:
- Features: Integration with smart home systems (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
- Description: Allows for remote control and automation via smartphones, voice assistants (e.g., Alexa, Google Assistant), or smart home hubs.
11. Durability and Weather Resistance:
- Materials: Impact-resistant plastics or metals with weatherproof coatings.
- IP Rating: Typically IP44 to IP66.
- Description: Designed to withstand outdoor conditions such as rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations. Higher IP ratings are ideal for outdoor use in harsh environments.
12. Safety and Compliance:
- Certifications: UL, CE, RoHS, FCC, or equivalent.
- Description: Indicates the product meets safety and environmental standards for electrical devices.
