The LEDCO Door Detector 12-24V utilizes a reliable magnetic reed switch mechanism that responds instantly when a door is opened or closed, triggering your connected LED lighting with virtually no delay. This solid-state sensing technology contains no moving mechanical parts subject to wear, ensuring a long operational lifespan and consistent performance. The detector is engineered to work within a wide voltage range of 12V to 24V DC, making it broadly compatible with the efficient LED drivers and power supplies commonly used in residential low-voltage lighting systems.
From a thermal management perspective, the Door Detector is designed to operate safely within standard residential temperature ranges without generating excess heat. Its compact, sealed housing provides dependable protection against dust and light moisture, making it suitable for installation in closets, cabinetry, and other semi-enclosed spaces. When paired with quality LED drivers and high-efficiency LED light sources, the system delivers outstanding energy savings compared to traditional incandescent or halogen closet lights that run continuously or rely on manual switching.
This product is certified to Canadian electrical standards and meets the rigorous safety requirements expected for residential installations across Canada. The cUL/CSA approved rating gives homeowners and electricians confidence that the detector has been thoroughly tested for safe operation. It supports a clean, code-compliant installation whether used in new construction or retrofit renovation projects.
Installation is designed to be simple and accessible, requiring only basic wiring knowledge and common hand tools. The detector mounts discreetly on the door frame while the corresponding magnet attaches to the door itself, maintaining a clean aesthetic that blends into your cabinetry or trim. By automatically controlling your LED lighting circuits, the Door Detector eliminates wasted energy from lights accidentally left on, contributing to lower electricity bills and a reduced environmental footprint — a smart, efficient upgrade for any modern Canadian home.
