Did you know that installing sensor lights can benefit your home and business? Sensor lights are activated by movement, so they turn on when someone is nearby. This makes them an excellent choice for areas with extra security or lighting.
But, to ensure they work correctly, you must have them installed by a licensed Sydney electrician. And for that, there is no team better than Pro Electrical.
While sensor lights are a great way to increase security and save energy, they are susceptible to malfunctioning, just like most fixtures. For example, dirt or dust accumulation on the sensor can prevent it from detecting motion correctly. This can cause the sensor light to stay constant or not turn on when any motion is detected.

Why Do Sensor Lights Malfunction?
These lights are usually activated by infrared energy, which is emitted by everything, including people and animals. So, when something breaks the infrared beam that the sensor is "watching," the light is turned on. A few things can interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect infrared energy.
For example, if the sensor is dirty, it might not be able to detect infrared energy properly. Additionally, a lot of dust or pollen in the air can interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect infrared energy. If the temperature is too cold or hot, it can affect the sensor’s ability to detect infrared energy.
In addition, the sensor may become weak due to prolonged use. We guarantee that our trained technicians have the expertise to detect the exact issue and take the right action to fix it.
Where Should I Install A Sensor Light?
Among the best places to install sensor lights include:
1. Driveways
Sensor lights make it easy to see who is approaching your home and can provide additional security for you and your family.
2. Perimeter of your home
Placing sensor lights around the perimeter of your home can be a great way to deter unwanted visitors.
3. Hallways and stairways
Sensor lights are great for illuminating dark hallways and stairways, making it easier to navigate in the dark.
4. Garages and sheds
Sensor lights make locating things in the dark more accessible and add a layer of security to these areas.
5. Gardens and walkways
Sensor lights are great for lighting up gardens and walkways in the evening, making them safer to traverse.
6. Porches and decks
Installing sensor lights on porches and decks can help increase these areas’ security and make them more enjoyable to spend time in.
