Outdoor lights with motion detector

Outdoor lights with motion detectors - Efficient lighting for greater safety and convenience

You come home late. It's dark. In the middle of the garden? One movement - and suddenly light. This provides security, orientation and a good feeling. Outdoor lights with motion detectors create precisely this moment: they register movement and switch the light on automatically. Without searching for the switch. Without unnecessary power consumption. A clever light for anyone who appreciates a clear view and protection outdoors.

Why a light with a motion detector is the right choice

A bright entrance area provides protection. An illuminated driveway prevents tripping hazards. The driveway is not only brighter, but also safer. Uninvited guests shy away from the light. Do you too? Then an outdoor light with integrated motion detector is an excellent choice.

Motion detectors recognise when something moves. As soon as you approach, the light switches on automatically. You don't have to operate anything. The technology reacts precisely. Thanks to the integrated sensor, your outdoor area is reliably illuminated - only when necessary.

Types of outdoor lights with motion detector

There are different variants depending on the location. They all work with a sensor - but each fulfils a different task:

Wall light with motion detector

Ideal for the house entrance or patio. These LED sensor wall lights provide targeted lighting on the façade. Practical, durable and efficient.

Pedestal light with motion detector

Pedestal lights with motion detectors are positioned at a low height and are suitable for garden paths. They provide sufficient lighting and do not dazzle. Particularly popular as part of the pathway or for accent lighting in the garden.

Solar lights with motion detector

Independent of the power grid and environmentally friendly. These lights store energy during the day and release it at night when movement is detected. Solar lights with motion detectors combine sustainability with functionality.

Path lights with motion detector

Perfect for driveways, garden paths or access roads. Path lights with motion detectors reliably guide the way. They provide orientation - even without being constantly switched on.

Ceiling lights with motion detectors

Would you like to illuminate your carport, cellar entrance or a canopy? Ceiling lights with motion detectors illuminate exactly when you need light - not a second too early or too late.

Spotlights with motion detector

Powerful, focussed, efficient. Spotlights with motion detectors are suitable for large areas such as courtyards, garage entrances or construction sites. They set targeted lighting accents and deter intruders at the same time.

With the right lights, you can create stylish lighting that impresses with its function as well as its appearance.

What you should look out for before buying

Not every lamp fits everywhere. Check the following points before buying:

• Location: Will the light be exposed to rain, snow or wind?
• Protection class: The light must be suitable for its surroundings. Ensure that several devices have the same protection class.
• Installation height: How high is the sensor positioned? Is the detection area optimally utilised?
• Number of light sources: How many light sources are installed? Are the light sources replaceable?
• Material: Robust, high-quality materials extend the service life.

Protection classes - how to protect your lights properly

Outdoor luminaires are often left out in the rain. Sometimes in the snow. And occasionally in the middle of a storm. They need the right protection class to ensure that they function permanently. The IP protection class indicates how well a light is protected against dust and water.

• IP44: Protection against splashing water from all directions - sufficient for covered outdoor areas, such as on the wall of a house under a canopy.
• IP54: Provides additional protection against dust deposits and is more robust in rain and moisture - well suited for free-standing luminaires or exposed locations.
• IP69: This protection class provides complete protection against dust and strong water jets - ideal for particularly demanding locations such as driveways, industrial yards or areas with high-pressure cleaning.

When purchasing, make sure that several luminaires in the outdoor area have the same protection rating. This is the only way to ensure uniform and functional protection against the ingress of moisture.

Do you still have an old lamp that has had its day? Then now is the perfect time to modernise it. Rely on integrated sensors, modern design and efficient technology. Discover our range and find what you are looking for.

Advantages of intelligent lighting control

A motion sensor means more than just convenience. It saves energy, protects against hazards and makes your outdoor areas more cosy. The technology works reliably and requires little maintenance. The most important advantages:

• Security: Unwanted visitors are deterred.
• Convenience: No switch, no effort. You have both hands free.
• Energy efficiency: Light only when it is really needed - thanks to efficient lighting.
• Design: Modern outdoor lights combine technology with stylish lighting.
• Retrofitting: Many models are suitable for quickly retrofitting your existing system.

Different types of sensors - what's inside?

Not every sensor works in the same way. Different types of sensors are used depending on requirements:

• Passive infrared (PIR): Detects temperature differences, ideal for detecting people.
• High frequency (HF): Reacts to movements behind glass or wood, e.g. for covered areas.
• Twilight sensor: Recognises when it is really dark - and prevents unnecessary switching on.
• Permanently integrated motion detectors: These sensors are built directly into the light and appear unobtrusive - ideal for a clear design without visible technology.
• External motion detectors: These sensors sit separately and can be flexibly aligned - perfect for areas that are not directly detected by the luminaire itself.

Areas of application at a glance - targeted light in the right places

Outdoor lights with motion detectors provide light exactly where you need it. Whether for safety, convenience or orientation - they are fully effective at these typical locations:

• House entrance: Automatic light welcomes you home and deters uninvited guests.
• Access route: Tripping hazards disappear, paths become clearly recognisable - a benefit especially in the dark.
• Carport or garage: You have sufficient light immediately when you get in or out - without the need for a switch.
• Patio: Motion detectors provide atmospheric lighting when there is movement - without permanent light.
• Side entrance: You can also keep an eye on little-used doors as soon as something moves.

These areas of application are not only practical - they also make your home noticeably safer. Light switches on automatically as soon as you need it.

Frequently asked questions

How does an outdoor light with motion detector work?

An integrated sensor detects movement in the detection area. The light switches on automatically - and switches off again after a certain time.

What protection rating should an outdoor light have?

At least IP44 - better IP65 for heavy weather contact. This protects the interior from the ingress of moisture.

How far does the detection range of a motion detector extend?

Between 6 and 20 metres, depending on the model. The exact range can be found in the product description.

Are LED sensor wall lights dimmable?

Some models offer a dimming function. Look out for information on the number of light sources and technical details.

Can I retrofit an old light?

There are external motion detectors that can be interposed. However, it is often worth replacing them with a new, clever light with an integrated motion detector - for greater safety and energy efficiency.
