  • Motion sensor lights are a practical addition to any home security system. These are designed to activate any time they detect movement in a specific range of space. They light your path in the dark or let you know when there is an unwanted visitor in your yard.

    Motion detector lights turn on automatically when you need them and turn off when you do not. This activation setup enables you to use less energy and lower your electricity bill.

Motion Sensors vs. Occupancy Sensors


While many people might think of motion sensors and occupancy sensors as the same thing, they actually serve unique purposes that cater to different needs. Understanding their distinct functions can elevate the way we approach safety, energy efficiency, and automated systems in our spaces!

  • Motion Sensors: These devices activate lights when they detect movement within their range, making them ideal for areas with sporadic activity like driveways, backyards, or garages. Lights automatically turn off after a set period when no movement is detected, enhancing energy efficiency.
  • Occupancy Sensors: Designed to detect a person’s presence, occupancy sensors go beyond movement. They keep the lights on as long as someone is in the room, even during minimal activity like working at a desk or watching TV. When the space becomes unoccupied, the lights shut off after a delay, making them perfect for offices, living rooms, and bathrooms.

By choosing motion sensors, occupancy sensors, or a combination of the two, you can enjoy smart, efficient lighting solutions that are tailored to your lifestyle.

  • For optimal performance, consider installing your motion sensors at a height of around six to eight feet above the ground. Positioning them up high not only enhances their functionality but also keeps them out of reach of playful kids and curious pets. Wondering where to install them? Here are some of the best spots to get the most out of your motion sensors:

    • Above doorways
    • Basements
    • Ceilings
    • Corners
    • High-traffic areas
    • Staircases

    The best part is that motion sensors work both inside and outside your home. Just make sure you get the right sensor for the right location. Mr. Electric of Hattiesburg will send out an expert electrician to assess your property and strategically install motion sensors, including outdoor security lights, where you want them and where they make the most sense for your home.
