ON VIDEO How to Wire Stair Lights Using Motion Sensors

 

When I talk about the importance of lighting with my clients, I often emphasize a point that is often overlooked: outdoor lighting.

In my opinion, they play three important roles in the electrical installation:

Guide and direct people to the dwelling at night.
Warn of the presence of people.
Deter intruders.
These three points therefore lead me to offer you the different infrared motion detector connections (we also speak of a presence detector).

I will also discuss in this article the settings as well as the electrical wiring of the infrared detector.

Principle of an electrical assembly with infrared motion detector:
Before discussing the technique, I must explain the interest of using an infrared motion detector outdoors, even if it seems obvious.

A simple classic ignition consists of a switch and a light point. Without action on your part, the light point will not light up.

If you put a light point outside, you will have to act on the switch to turn on the outdoor lighting.

Here are some arguments that will undoubtedly make you understand the usefulness of the infrared motion detector:

If you enter your home (you are outside) you will not have a way to turn on the exterior lights.
If you are expecting people, your lighting will work constantly while waiting for guests.
The motion detector will therefore act in your place and switch on the outdoor light point(s) in order to solve the two problems mentioned above.

Infrared motion detector, operation:
As I explained above, the motion detector acts on your behalf: It therefore takes on the role of an automatic switch to control the lighting.

Infrared motion sensor technology:
The technology used by motion detectors is based on infrared radiation. (noted IR as InfraRed)

To explain simply, infrared radiation is a "kind of light" that is emitted by bodies or objects, but is not visible to the naked eye.

Motion detectors distinguish this radiation (even at night) and therefore make it possible to locate a body or an object that emits IR radiation.

Infrared motion detector working principle:
The motion detector will detect variations in IR radiation. But to what extent and to what extent?

To tell you a little more, nothing beats an example on a market detector.
