The TUROLIGHT Microwave Sensor Remote uses radio-frequency communication to interface directly with the fixture's integrated microwave motion sensor module. Unlike passive infrared (PIR) sensors, microwave detection technology offers superior coverage through its ability to sense movement through obstacles, delivering more reliable occupancy-based lighting control in spaces with shelving, vehicles, or stored materials.
By allowing precise adjustment of parameters such as detection sensitivity, hold time duration, standby dimming levels, and ambient light cutoff thresholds, this remote helps maximize energy savings compared to leaving high bay fixtures running at full output continuously. Fine-tuning these settings ensures lights activate only when needed and dim or shut off during unoccupied periods — significantly reducing electricity consumption versus traditional fluorescent or HID high bay alternatives.
The remote operates on a 12V DC signal platform, engineered to meet the demands of TUROLIGHT's sensor-equipped linear high bay series. The compatible fixtures carry certifications including cUL and CSA approval, confirming compliance with rigorous Canadian electrical and safety standards. When paired with fixtures that hold DLC qualification, the sensor system may also help you take advantage of applicable utility rebate programs designed to reward energy-efficient lighting upgrades.
Installation and programming require no specialized tools — simply point the remote at the fixture's sensor lens and use the clearly labeled buttons to cycle through settings. The lightweight, durable design is built to withstand the realities of a workshop or renovation environment. Combined with the fixture's efficient LED driver and robust thermal management system, the sensor-and-remote combination ensures your lighting operates at peak performance with minimal maintenance for years to come.
