Outdoor wall lights with motion detector

Outdoor wall lights with motion detector: Your guide in the dark

Both indoors and outdoors, the right light plays an important role in creating optimum lighting conditions. Outdoor wall lights with integrated motion detectors in particular offer increased security and technology to realise this immediately and deter potential intruders. They not only fulfil high security criteria, but also create elegant accents on the house wall, just like the corresponding entrance lighting in a modern design. Their light illuminates every detail of your garden with a soft glow as soon as you are in the neighbourhood. Our outdoor lights with motion detectors bring you one step closer to perfect lighting.

Motion detectors and their advantages

At first glance, an outdoor light with motion detector is characterised by the fact that it switches on when you approach it. This not only illuminates the path immediately, but also increases security, as potential dangers or uninvited guests become visible in the light. This results in further advantages:

1. Adaptation to weather conditions: Some models are designed to work effectively even in poor weather conditions such as rain, snow or fog.
2. Aesthetic added value: Modern designs instantly enhance the exterior appearance of your home with pleasant outdoor lighting.
3. Automatic outdoor lighting in emergencies: In emergencies, such as a medical emergency at night, automatic lighting can save or help save lives.
4. Energy and cost efficiency: The lights are only active when you switch them on.
5. Increased functionality: Some models offer customisable settings such as sensitivity, light duration and sensor range.
6. Long life: Reduced operating time can extend the life of the lights.
7. Comfort and convenience: Automatic activation of the lights means you don't have to remember to switch the light on or off.
8. Environmentally friendly: Less energy consumption means a lower environmental impact.
9. Versatility: Motion detectors are suitable for various outdoor areas, such as entrances, paths, garages and gardens.

What features does an outdoor light with motion detector need?

Whether light source, additional functions or materials - an outdoor light with motion sensor must always be protected against external factors such as rain, hail, wind and the like in terms of function and safety. With protection class IP 44, for example, you get excellent protection against solid foreign bodies larger than 1 mm. IP44 also provides optimum protection against splashing water, so that your lighting works reliably and provides pleasant light even in the most adverse weather conditions.

Solar energy - the perfect choice for outdoor lights

For a particularly energy-efficient and environmentally conscious light, you can consider solar-powered outdoor wall lights. These utilise the power of the sun by charging during the day and providing efficient lighting at night without additional energy costs.

LED meets motion detector: intelligent LED outdoor wall light

LED light sources are the best choice when it comes to long-lasting and bright outdoor wall lights. With a brightness of 300 to over 1,000 lumens, they not only offer particularly high luminosity, but also low energy consumption. Our LEDs are also available in various colour temperatures from cool white to warm white and daylight white. This allows you to customise the lighting mood to suit your personal preferences.

When night falls: twilight sensors

The twilight sensor is a useful feature for customised lighting conditions. It ensures that the light switches on automatically at dusk and switches off again at dawn. This not only increases convenience, but also ensures that the lighting is only switched on when it is actually needed, which also saves energy.

The right place for an outdoor wall light with motion sensor

The integration of LED technology in outdoor wall lights with sensors offers a wide range of installation options to meet every need. Whether at the entrance, along walkways, in the garage or in the garden - these lights provide optimum lighting for any outdoor environment. When mounting, it is important to ensure the correct angle to maximise efficiency. The following options apply to different areas:

• Entrance: A downward-facing angle is recommended for entrance areas. This ensures that the light falls directly onto the path in front of the door, providing a clear view when entering or leaving the house.
• Garage: In the garage or other usable areas where intensive lighting is required, the luminaires should be positioned so that they illuminate a wide area. An angle of 60 to 90 degrees is often most effective in such cases, as it enables wide and uniform light distribution.
• Walkways and garden paths: Path luminaires with motion detectors are also suitable here, as they are mounted at the side and distribute the light evenly along the path. An angle of around 45 degrees is often ideal to achieve wide coverage while avoiding glare.

The key is to position the LED lights so that the sensors are aligned to detect movement in the typical direction of approach. Twilight sensors, on the other hand, are best placed where they are not disturbed by artificial light sources.

Frequently asked questions

How long can an outdoor wall light be left on?

Since outdoor wall lights with motion detectors only light up when a person or animal is nearby, there are no prescribed rules on how long such a light may burn. In terms of service life, you also benefit from particularly long-lasting light sources.

Is an outdoor wall light with motion detector a permanent light?

An outdoor wall light with motion detector is not designed for continuous lighting, but switches on automatically when motion is detected. This means that it saves energy and at the same time ensures safety by only switching on when required. It is an intelligent lighting solution that combines efficiency with user-friendliness.

Are outdoor wall lights with sensor dimmable?

Many of our outdoor wall lights with sensor are dimmable, allowing you to flexibly adjust the brightness to your needs. This function not only increases convenience, but also creates the perfect atmosphere for every situation. This allows you to combine functionality with your own personal touch.
