  • Motion sensors are special devices designed to detect movement within a specific area. Whenever anything moves or comes into that range of space, whether it is a welcome visitor, wild animal, or unwanted intruder, the motion sensor turns on a light. Motion sensors can also be set up to activate an alarm system.

    Mr. Electric of St. Paul incorporates motion sensors into your lighting system so your lights turn on when you want them to. They are extra helpful in areas where lights often get left on by accident, like bathrooms and closets. Perhaps you are going to look for something in the attic, or you are walking up the pathway to your house on a dark night. Motion sensors reduce energy and improve security because they activate when you need them to.

  • Motion sensor lighting offers a plethora of benefits that you can and should take advantage of with their installation. These include:

    • Enhanced Security: Installing motion-activated lights around your property is an effective way to deter potential intruders. These lights create the impression that someone is home, even when you’re away. Additionally, the sudden activation of a bright light can startle unwanted visitors and discourage them from approaching.
    • Energy Efficiency: Motion sensors help lower your electricity usage by ensuring lights only turn on when motion is detected. This smart functionality reduces energy waste and saves money on utility bills.
    • Convenience: Motion sensor lights offer hands-free operation, making them a practical choice for entryways, garages, and other frequently used areas.
    • Extended Bulb Lifespan: Because lights are only activated when needed, your bulbs last longer. This means fewer replacements and reduced maintenance over time, adding to the overall efficiency of motion sensor lighting.

The Best Placement For Motion Sensor Lighting


Where motion sensors are installed matters. It is necessary to place them in smart and strategic areas around your property, both inside and outside. Your dedicated Mr. Electric of St. Paul electrician assesses your property and discusses your vision with you to determine the best location for your motion sensor lighting. Here are some of the areas where motion sensors make the most sense:

Outdoor Spaces

  • Front and Back Doors: Provide safe and convenient access to your home after dark.
  • Driveways: Improve visibility and safety by illuminating your driveway as you arrive.
  • Walkways and Pathways: Automatically light pathways to prevent trips and falls.
  • Yards and Gardens: Keep outdoor areas well-lit to deter trespassers and enhance visibility.

Indoor Spaces

  • Hallways and Staircases: Increase safety by automatically lighting these areas as you walk through.
  • Bathrooms: Perfect for nighttime use, motion sensors provide gentle lighting without the need for switches.
  • Garages and Basements: Make these spaces more practical with hands-free lighting, ideal for when your hands are full.
  • Closets and Storage Areas: Conserve energy with lights that automatically turn off after a period of inactivity.

Be sure to ask about occupancy sensors, which are great for your home office. These sensors are similar to motion sensors, but instead, the lights stay on as long as there is a person in the room.

  • Motion sensor lighting is an excellent addition to your home. Contact Mr. Electric of St. Paul to have one of our electricians install motion sensors throughout your property.
