Quality outdoor lighting is great and practical, but it's even better when it's equipped with a presence detector. Outdoor lighting with motion detectors is very popular these days, and for good reason: it has many advantages. So, what are the advantages of this device? We'll tell you right here.
The advantages of presence detectors
Combining lighting and presence detectors can have many advantages. Discover all the benefits this device has to offer, for you and your home.
Extra comfort
No more searching for the light switch in the dark! No need to anticipate turning on your outdoor lighting to find the driveway lit up in the evening when you get home from work! With the presence detector, your lighting comes on as soon as you arrive. "If you're tired of groping around in the dark when you get home from work to light up your driveway, opt for theLumihome Pyramide LED wall light and its motion detector, advises Christophe Coelho. More comfortable than a conventional switch, it'sthe ideal solution for providing elegant lighting while making your life easier. Thanks to its integrated motion detector, it switches on automatically when a person passes by. Whether you're arriving with your arms full of shopping or carrying a child, you no longer have to worry about finding the switch illuminating the front porch."
Similarly, if you're tired of bumping or tripping over your driveway, opt for Alto solar LED bollards. As well as automatically lighting your path, these bollards are powered by the sun's free energy.
A safety factor
This is one of the main advantages of outdoor lighting with motion detectors: to make your home more secure with a surprise effect. In fact, the presence detector acts as a deterrent. By switching on as soon as a presence is detected, outdoor lighting discourages intruders approaching your home, and alerts you to a problem at the same time. The sensor installed on Lumihome products is ultra-precise, detecting a presence 10 meters away at a 90° angle. Enough to scare off any ill-intentioned person.
A plus for your budget
Have you ever left the outside light on in anticipation of coming home? Yes, it's practical, but it's not very economical. To pamper your budget and control your consumption,a presence detector is ideal, as it only comes on when you really need it. In fact, Lumihome luminaires equipped with presence detectors are perfectly suited to your needs.
The Dublin wall light, for example, includes a selector that lets you choose between three lighting modes to suit your needs. In mode 1, the luminaire emits a permanent light of 75 lumens that lasts all night long. In mode 2, it always emits a permanent light of 75 lumens, and a stronger light of 400 lumens when presence is detected. Finally, in mode 3, the light is activated only when movement is detected, emitting 600 lumens. Outdoor lighting with integrated presence detectors can therefore reduce your energy bills, and will do so even more if you opt for solar-powered luminaires. Finally, by choosing Lumihome's LED lights with integrated sensor, you're combining the merits of both technologies: the presence detector has many advantages, but LED technology consumes very little power and has an excellent lifespan. So you're making a long-term investment: a real plus for your budget!
A gesture for the planet
Sensor-controlled outdoor lighting saves energy, because the lights only come on when you're home and go off when you need them to. So you won't have to think ahead and turn on your lights in advance, or forget to switch them off before going to bed. No more waste and unnecessary consumption. And to continue your commitment, opt for Lumihome's solar-powered models with integrated sensor. As powerful as a conventional light fixture, they are also capable of deterring intruders with 600 lumens of light when presence is detected.
How to choose your outdoor sensor lighting?
As you can see, presence detectors are very useful for your outdoor lighting, but how do you choose? Here are a few criteria to consider.
The importance of the detection angle
When making your choice, it's important to consider the luminaire's angle of detection. At Lumihome, our lighting solutions are equipped with a sensor that can detect a presence at a distance of 10 meters and an angle of 90°. During installation, don't forget to avoid obstacles that could interfere with the device.
Detection range
Like the angle of detection, range is a very important factor when choosing your luminaire. It must be sufficient to detect movement, and must correspond to your needs. Lumihome lighting solutions are equipped with presence detectors capable of detecting movement up to 10 meters away.
The twilight detector
It's also worth opting for a luminaire that knows the difference between night and day. "This is what we call a twilight detector, explains Christophe Coelho. Our Led Pulsar wall lamp, for example, is equipped with one. It features a twilight and motion detector on the front, enabling it to switch on automatically as soon as night falls, and to emit a more powerful light when movement is detected."
Solar or 230V solution
Whether your outdoor lighting is solar or 230V, we've got the right fixtures for you at Lumihome. Discover our wide range of solar-powered luminaires and opt for solar-powered bollards or wall lights equipped with motion sensors. Genova, Diva, Liberty... all these solar solutions incorporate a presence sensor to make your daily life easier and your garden safer. Our 230V range is also well-stocked, with LED models such as Luna, Genova, Madrid and many others that combine functionality and aesthetics.
Outdoor lighting is practical and attractive. But for even greater functionality, you can choose the motion detector option. Invisible and effective, it offers the advantage of lighting just what's needed, when it's needed!
