How Do You Use A Motion Sensor To Control Lights?
Motion sensor lights are popular on outdoor light fixtures and indoors in areas where you don’t frequent, such as the garage or laundry room. When a motion sensor detects movement, it sends a signal to the light bulb to turn on. After the motion detector stops detecting movement, it will wait a pre-set amount of time and the light will shut off automatically. You can make motion sensor adjustments so it controls lights the way you desire. Adjust the direction the sensor points. Grab the sensor from the back, and then tilt it and rotate it as necessary until the motion sensor points in the direction where you want to detect movement. Locate the “Sensory Adjustment Dial” on the bottom of your fixture. Turn the dial so it reflects the distance you want the motion sensor to respond. “Low” instructs the sensor to respond to movements near the sensor; “Medium” instructs the sensor to respond to movements several feet away from the sensor; “High” instructs the sensor to respond to movements a
