Why buy a motion sensor light, and what is its purpose?

Motion sensor lights offer a temporary switch that turns on the illumination when motion is detected, within the sensor's field of view. The light will stay on for a period of time after the movement is detected, and will remain on while the movement occurs. The motion sensor switch will then also turn off the light after a period of inactivity. In addition to being extremely hassle-free, the automated function ensures total coverage and guaranteed access to illumination when needed. This can come in handy in a variety of instances, especially when struggling.

Reduce energy costs

The most valuable benefit of motion sensor lights is the savings made on energy costs. The motion sensor turns on only when there is not enough natural light in the area, resulting in significant power and money savings. For example, your motion light will not turn on during the day or when it is getting light out – no wasted electricity!

Extend bulb life

Ever tried turning on a light and nothing happens? Then you look closely and see the bulb has completely blown? Well, no more! The presence of motion sensors greatly reduces the light-on time of the bulb, meaning that the power source and bulb longevity will be extended for a greater period.  

Deter crime

Installing motion sensor lighting around your home or building is a great way to deter crime and vandalism. There’s nothing more alarming than suddenly being drenched  in light when you’re doing something you’re not supposed to. All lighting will provide some form of a deterrent to trespassers. 

Convenience

Another amazing feature of motion sensor lighting is that you'll always have easy access to lighting right when you need it, which solves the dilemma of people forgetting to turn off the lights during their day-to-day work. This again, not only adds an air of convenience, but will ensure you’re saving money on that gnarly power bill.
