While it is crucial for the lighting in all aspects of the building to be operational for safety, the unoccupied parts don’t need to be fully lit when they’re not in use. Lighting up the unused portions of a building is a waste of electricity and money. TriStar Electric can help you avoid this with commercial occupancy sensor lighting services in Anne Arundel County. Contact us today or keep reading to learn more.

What is Commercial Occupancy Sensor Lighting?

Commercial occupancy sensor lighting uses sensors, typically mounted on the walls or the ceiling, to sense occupancy based on movement. For this reason, occupancy sensor lighting is also called motion-detecting or motion-sensing lighting. PIR technology—pyroelectric (passive) infrared sensing—allows the occupancy sensor lighting to work. The PIR sensors detect infrared heat when a person walks into the room, and they send the “turn on” signal to the lights via a transmitter. The lights go off only if the sensors don’t sense additional movement for a set period. 

This type of lighting has both interior and exterior applications. Indoors, occupancy sensor lighting is most commonly found in hallways, stairwells, and restrooms, but it is also beneficial for certain other rooms that are unoccupied for periods each day. Outdoors, the most common use for this type of lighting is for motion-detecting dawn-to-dusk lighting. This is typically safety and security lighting designed to turn on only when daylight has faded to a certain percentage. Some dusk-to-dawn lighting is always on, but it can also be motion-activated to conserve energy. These lights also use a photocell and PIR technology to activate lighting at night. 

Commercial Occupancy Sensor Lighting Services For Anne Arundel County Businesses

TriStar Electric can provide all of the services related to occupancy sensor lighting, including installation, upgrading, and circuiting. We can install sensors and additional lighting fixtures where you want to control lighting based on occupancy. Since any lighting in your building has to connect to the nearest circuit with the appropriate voltage for the fixture, we can install additional circuits as needed and place them in the areas that provide your business with the most significant benefit. If your commercial space has only old fixtures and lights, we can also help you upgrade them to LED lighting and occupancy sensor lighting.
