This infrared occupancy and daylight sensor uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect heat signatures from movement within its coverage area. Unlike basic timer-based switches, PIR sensing provides reliable, real-time detection that activates your LED high bay fixture only when the space is genuinely occupied. The integrated daylight harvesting function adds another layer of intelligence by measuring ambient light levels and preventing the fixture from turning on unnecessarily during bright daytime hours, maximizing your overall energy savings.
The sensor is built with solid-state electronic components designed to operate reliably within the thermal environment of a high bay LED fixture. Because LED drivers and sensors both generate heat during operation, SPECLITE has engineered this accessory to maintain stable performance even in enclosed or elevated mounting positions. The result is consistent detection accuracy and a long operational lifespan that matches the durability of your LED lighting system.
From a certification standpoint, this sensor accessory is cUL approved and compliant with Canadian electrical safety standards, giving you peace of mind that it has been rigorously tested for the Canadian market. When paired with compatible SPECLITE high bay fixtures, the combined system can contribute to meaningful energy savings compared to traditional HID or fluorescent lighting — especially in spaces where lights are often left on in unoccupied areas such as storage rooms, large garages, and utility spaces.
Installation is designed to be as simple as possible. The 3-pin connector plugs directly into the dedicated sensor port on compatible HU90 and CP series fixtures, requiring no additional wiring, junction boxes, or specialized tools. Once connected, the sensor's detection range and sensitivity can typically be adjusted to suit your specific space. Whether you're mounting your high bay fixture at standard residential height or in a taller commercial-style ceiling, this plug-and-play sensor accessory offers a hassle-free path to automated, energy-conscious lighting control.
