This microwave occupancy and daylight sensor uses advanced microwave detection technology rather than traditional passive infrared, which means it can sense motion through a wider field and is less affected by temperature fluctuations in your space. The result is more reliable, consistent activation — whether you're walking into a cold garage in January or a warm shop in midsummer. Microwave sensing also provides superior detection range, covering the full area beneath your high bay industrial fixture without blind spots.
The sensor features built-in daylight harvesting capability, which continuously monitors ambient light levels and adjusts fixture output accordingly. This dual-function design — combining both occupancy detection and light-level response — maximizes energy savings compared to running traditional HID or fluorescent high bay lighting on a fixed schedule. Over time, this translates into meaningfully lower electricity consumption, which is especially valuable in spaces where lights are often left on unintentionally.
Built to perform in demanding environments, this accessory is engineered with durable, heat-resistant components that complement the thermal management system of compatible SPECLITE high bay fixtures. The sensor is cUL listed and certified to Canadian electrical standards, ensuring full compliance with local building codes and inspection requirements. Its compact form factor is designed to integrate seamlessly without compromising the fixture's IP rating or overall performance.
Installation is straightforward and does not require an electrician in most cases. The 3-pin connection interface allows for quick plug-in attachment to compatible SPECLITE UFO high bay lights, with adjustable settings for sensitivity, hold time, and daylight threshold. This gives you full control over how your motion-activated industrial ceiling light behaves — letting you fine-tune the response to match the specific needs of your renovation project while maintaining optimal energy efficiency throughout the life of the fixture.
