How to Light a Large Space for Less: Built-In High-Bay Motion Sensor Fixtures

There is no doubt that occupancy sensors have a myriad of benefits. From reducing the energy bills at offices and warehouses, to helping combat climate change by minimizing the energy needed in commercial buildings, these little sensors have proven to be incredibly useful. But what if they could be made even more useful? Even easier to install and maintain? Here are the three most important ways that built-in high-bay motion sensors have raised the bar over traditional occupancy/motion sensor systems.

Cost

In years past, a hardwired system was required when integrating a sensor into a warehouse or industrial lighting system. This system would connect the lights, the sensors, and the controls needed to manage both. Any hardwired system requires not only the time and expertise of an electrician, but also a fair amount of conduit and wires. Given the rising prices of components these days, any system that can reduce or eliminate installation costs is a winner. With a built-in motion sensor system, the sensor is native to the fixture, meaning it does not require an additional wired system to control it. This reduces the extra cost of both the electrician and the conduit and wire needed.

Convenience

Having the motion sensor built into the fixture not only cuts down on installation costs, it makes installing and configuring the lighting much simpler. With a built-in motion sensor, there’s no need to worry about the limitations of an external sensor or existing, or non-existent, wiring. By simply needing line voltage, the built-in system offers a level of control and simplicity that is new to lighting. Once installed, the fixtures are controlled via remote. They offer several preset options as well as additional settings that can be configured. The system also allows for control over dimming levels and time delays.

Efficiency

High-bay motion sensor fixtures offer the ability to light a larger space with less hassle, perfect for a warehouse or industrial space. Another benefit of a high-bay motion detector system is the light will only come on if motion is detected, so only the high-bays that are needed will actually turn on, creating even more efficiency. Plus, the PLT Solutions LED high-bay motion sensor systems measure ambient light and dim when the surrounding light reaches a certain threshold.. Talk about smart lighting!

Enjoy the energy savings that a motion sensor system affords with less cost and a whole lot less grief! Just decide where to place the lights, wire them up, and use the remote to fine-tune your design. No messing around with a costly hardwired system. Now, control is at your fingertips!
