The TUROLIGHT Microwave Motion Sensor leverages high-frequency microwave detection technology to sense occupancy with exceptional accuracy. Unlike passive infrared (PIR) sensors, microwave sensors can detect motion through obstacles and are far less susceptible to false triggers caused by temperature fluctuations. This makes them particularly well suited for large open areas, covered work environments, and spaces with variable ambient conditions where consistent occupancy-based lighting control is essential.
Built with a reliable solid-state design, this sensor is engineered for long-term performance alongside modern LED high bay drivers. It features adjustable settings for detection sensitivity, hold time, and daylight threshold, allowing you to fine-tune how your lighting responds to activity in the space. These configurable parameters help maximize energy savings compared to leaving high bay fixtures running continuously — potentially reducing lighting-related electricity consumption by a significant percentage over traditional always-on setups.
The sensor connects via a standard 3.5mm single-pin interface, ensuring compatibility with TUROLIGHT's range of high bay LED fixtures that support plug-in sensor modules. This streamlined connection eliminates the need for hardwiring a separate sensor, simplifying installation whether you're working on a stepladder or a scissor lift. The entire unit is designed to operate reliably within the thermal environment of an LED high bay, with components rated to handle the sustained temperatures typical of enclosed or semi-enclosed fixture housings.
This product is certified to Canadian electrical standards including cUL approval, giving you confidence that it meets rigorous safety and performance requirements. When paired with compatible DLC-listed or Energy Star-rated TUROLIGHT high bay fixtures, the sensor contributes to an integrated, code-compliant lighting system that supports both energy efficiency goals and occupancy-based control strategies. It's a smart, standards-approved upgrade for any space where overhead LED lighting needs to work harder and smarter.
