Motion Sensor Lighting

Light fixtures with motion detectors turn on automatically when an object passes by. The sensors detect infrared rays, those emitted by heat, coming from moving objects and can stay on anywhere from 1-20 minutes.

Motion Detecting lights are great for your security and safety. Just attach the fixture above your garage so you can see at any time of the night, they will deter criminals as well.

Dusk-to-Dawn Lighting

Dusk-to-dawn fixtures use a photocell for power. The photocell detects natural light and will turn the lights on after the sun goes down and will turn back off when the sun rises.

Light sensitive fixtures are generally inexpensive and widely available, while still providing optimal output and energy efficiency.

Luminance

Lumens are a measurement of a bulb’s brightness. More lumens mean a brighter light, so pick an output that suits your lighting needs.
