LED Motion Sensor Light Mirabel
LED MOTION SENSOR LIGHT MIRABEL
LED motion sensor lighting (PIR) is the smartest way to automate perimeter lighting, parking lots, garage entries and low-traffic spaces. It activates only when needed, eliminates energy waste and improves security — all without touching a switch. LEDCO offers a complete range of LED fixtures with integrated PIR sensors for residential and commercial applications, shipped across Canada.
PIR LED Wall Packs — Building Perimeter Security
LED wall packs with integrated PIR sensors are built for perimeter security on commercial, industrial and residential buildings. Surface-mounted on exterior walls, they cover a 180° to 240° detection zone with a 12 to 15 metre range. The lux threshold is adjustable to prevent unnecessary daytime triggers. In integrated (standby) mode, the fixture maintains reduced intensity (10-30%) continuously and ramps to full power on detection — eliminating the visual shock in nighttime transit zones. IP65 durability ensures operation through Canadian winters.
PIR LED Floodlights — Backyard and Residential Entry
LED floodlights with PIR sensors are ideal for backyards, driveways, decks and residential entries. Their narrow beam angle (30-60°) concentrates light exactly where it is needed, unlike wide-diffusion wall packs. The adjustable off-delay (1 to 30 minutes) adapts the behavior to the use case: 1-3 min for a driveway, 10-15 min for a backyard where prolonged activity occurs. The adjustable lux threshold prevents daylight triggers even on overcast days. At 5000K, the light faithfully reproduces colors for maximum visual identification in security situations.
Interior PIR Fixtures — Garage, Basement and Storage
For occasionally used indoor spaces, surface-mounted LED fixtures with PIR turn garages, basements, storage rooms and stairwells into automated spaces. The biggest practical benefit: no fumbling for a switch in the dark. In a double garage, a single 360° ceiling PIR covers the entire space from one mounting point. For multi-zone basements (workshop, storage, mechanical room), use one PIR per zone with short off-delays (2-5 min) to maximize savings. Indoor models do not require high IP ratings — IP20 or IP44 is sufficient.
Fine-Tuning Your PIR Sensor — Avoiding False Triggers
The quality of a PIR sensor is measured by its ability to distinguish human movement from environmental disturbances (branches, animals, passing vehicles). Quality models offer three independent adjustments: sensitivity (S), off-delay (T) and lux threshold (L). Reduced sensitivity limits the detection zone for narrow spaces (hallways, entryways) and prevents triggers from street traffic. A short off-delay (1 min) is ideal for spaces where every unjustified activation adds unnecessary consumption. The lux threshold prevents the photocell from triggering during the day even under overcast skies. On commercial-grade floodlights, detection can be temporarily disabled for continuous lighting mode — useful during renovations or events.
Technical Tips — LED Motion Sensor Lighting
- Standard PIR detection angle: 180° for wall mounts, 360° for ceiling mounts
- Typical range: 8-15 m outdoors, 5-10 m indoors (varies by model)
- Adjustable off-delay: 1 to 30 minutes depending on application
- Lux threshold: set to 10-50 lux to prevent daytime triggers
- Outdoor mounting: always choose IP65 minimum for Canada
- Avoid areas with heat sources (AC units, fireplaces) that interfere with infrared PIR
- For pet-friendly zones, look for models with low-zone detection masks that can be disabled
- Bi-Level mode (10% to 100%) reduces nighttime consumption by up to 80% between activations
