This PIR motion sensor switch uses passive infrared detection technology to sense body heat and movement within its detection zone. Unlike microwave or ultrasonic sensors, PIR technology is energy-efficient and highly reliable for residential applications, activating your connected LED lighting instantly when motion is detected and turning it off after a preset delay when the area is unoccupied. The result is a motion-activated lighting control that reduces unnecessary runtime and extends the overall lifespan of your LED system.

Built to work within low-voltage DC lighting systems, this sensor switch operates on a 12–24V DC input, making it fully compatible with the LED drivers and power supplies commonly used in strip lighting, puck lighting, and other distributed LED installations. The internal electronics are designed for stable, consistent switching performance that won't cause flickering or premature driver wear, ensuring your efficient LED driver and lighting components work together smoothly over thousands of on-off cycles.

The recessed-mount design allows for discreet integration into cabinetry, millwork, drywall, or custom enclosures, keeping the sensor hidden while maintaining full detection capability. This makes it ideal for installations where aesthetics matter — under-cabinet kitchen lighting, closet systems, display shelving, and corridor accent lighting. The compact form factor also simplifies retrofitting into existing setups without major modifications.

LUMENSTARLED products are certified to Canadian electrical standards, so you can install with confidence knowing the components meet the rigorous safety and performance requirements expected in Canadian construction. By automatically eliminating wasted lighting hours, this motion sensor switch contributes to meaningful energy savings compared to traditional always-on switching, lowering electricity costs while reducing your home's environmental footprint. It's a practical, code-compliant addition to any modern LED lighting project.
