  • Occupancy sensors detect when someone is occupying a room. When someone comes in, the sensor turns the lights on, and the lights turn off when they leave. Sensors monitor a field of view for movement to determine occupancy — the field of view is adjustable based on the size of the room. The sensor can be set with an amount of time it will wait before turning off or dimming the lights. Your occupancy sensor installation in Lakeland can be added to your existing lighting system.

    Occupancy sensors offer several benefits for your home and business, including:

    • Energy efficiency: Occupancy sensors control your lighting system to minimize wasted energy, only turning the lights on when required. By conserving energy, you can lower your environmental impact.
    • Enhanced convenience: Lighting control provides hands-free operation by turning the lights on and off. This is especially convenient for businesses so that they can ensure all the lights are off when locking up after hours.
    • Cost savings: With occupancy sensors controlling the lights, you can save money on utility bills.

Occupancy Sensor Placement for Optimal Performance

The placement of sensors is a key factor in ensuring they provide the best performance. Make sure your occupancy sensors are placed in the correct area.

Key Areas for Installation

Occupancy sensors are commonly installed in commercial and residential spaces wherever automated, hands-free lighting is convenient. You can install occupancy sensor switches in nearly any space, from seldom-used rooms to high-traffic areas. These rooms include:

  • Kitchens
  • Pantries
  • Bathrooms
  • Laundry rooms
  • Hallways
  • Closets
  • Basements
  • Garages
  • Storage areas
  • Utility rooms
  • Open offices
  • Conference rooms
  • Lounges

Occupancy sensors are also ideal in spaces where a traditional light switch would be ineffective. For example, employees in warehouse facilities who transport boxes by hand or operate equipment like a forklift would benefit from automatic lights.

Considerations for Effective Placement

Proper placement of sensors matters to make sure they work correctly. Keep these tips in mind when setting up sensors:

  • Avoid placing sensors in areas with constant movement to prevent false triggering.
  • Choose a spot 6 to 12 feet from air vents to prevent interference.
  • Mount sensors close to the wall with the door so the sensor can detect when people enter and leave the space.
  • Consider the impact of furniture and obstacles in the room on sensor effectiveness and determine if multiple sensors for the space are required.
  • Determine the right sensitivity settings for the space based on factors like room size.
