Ceiling Lights and Flush Mounts with Sensor provide automatic lighting activation in transit and stairwells based on thermal motion detection.
Maintaining constant lighting in corridors and common areas of commercial and apartment buildings generates unjustified electricity expenses. Built-in motion detection solutions eliminate human error when lights are left on, creating immediate savings. Low-quality motion detectors often react to noise or slight air fluctuations, causing false triggers and shortening the diode's life cycle. VIDEX engineering offers high-precision microwave or PIR sensors calibrated to react only to real human presence, ensuring stable and safe long-term operation.
Engineering parameters of sensor technology:
- Motion detection: The built-in sensor with a detection radius of up to 8 meters and a 360° viewing angle reacts immediately upon entering the room.
- Optimized operation (Lux): Adjusting the light sensitivity threshold (e.g., <25 Lx) prevents the lamp from turning on during daylight hours.
- Automatic shutdown: A time delay timer (up to 15 minutes) automatically cuts off the power supply after the movement ends, preventing idle work.
- Flicker-free light: The IC driver guarantees "No Flicker" radiation with lumen output up to 2000 lm, avoiding stroboscopic effects for visual perception.
Automated light management in facilities significantly reduces operational and maintenance costs while providing convenience to building visitors. If it is necessary to create specialized accent and directional light from the ceiling in adjacent rooms or exhibition halls, our GU10 Track Lights and GX53 Track Lights systems can be integrated.
Q: Why are high-frequency (HF / microwave) sensors in indoor ceiling plafonds engineeringly more effective than PIR sensors?
Q: How to properly balance the LUX and TIME settings for a sensor-equipped plafond mounted in a hallway?
Q: How does the ""Master/Slave"" commutation mode built into VIDEX motion sensor plafonds allow combining multiple luminaires into a group?
Q: How does the ""Standby Dimming"" (2-level) function improve safety in stairwells and public corridors?
Q: How to prevent false triggers of a microwave sensor through thin partitions or doors?
A: HF microwave sensors (5.8 GHz) emit electromagnetic waves and detect their reflection, capturing the slightest movements even through a plastic or glass diffuser. Unlike PIR sensors, which require a direct line of sight to detect thermal radiation, an HF sensor can be completely hidden inside the plafond housing, maintaining an aesthetically clean design.
Q: How to properly balance the LUX and TIME settings for a sensor-equipped plafond mounted in a hallway?
A: The LUX threshold (e.g., 10–50 lx) ensures that the plafond activates only when the natural lighting in the room is insufficient. The TIME delay timer is set to 30 to 90 seconds, ensuring safe passage and preventing an excessive number of switching cycles, which extends the driver and diode lifespan.
Q: How does the ""Master/Slave"" commutation mode built into VIDEX motion sensor plafonds allow combining multiple luminaires into a group?
A: sensor plafonds are equipped with an additional control output that allows one sensor module (""Master"") to activate and operate up to five regular plafonds (""Slave""). This engineering solution ensures synchronous illumination of an entire hallway or stairwell section upon a single sensor trigger, optimizing system installation costs.
Q: How does the ""Standby Dimming"" (2-level) function improve safety in stairwells and public corridors?
A: In Standby Dimming mode, the plafond does not turn off completely after motion ceases, but reduces brightness to a 10–20% background level. This prevents complete darkness in common areas, providing continuous visual orientation and automatically switching to 100% power as soon as a person appears in the sensor zone.
Q: How to prevent false triggers of a microwave sensor through thin partitions or doors?
A: False triggers are prevented by reducing the sensor's detection radius (SENS parameter) and properly choosing the mounting location. If the sensor detects motion behind a wooden or drywall wall, the sensitivity level is electronically reduced from 100% to 50%, strictly confining the electromagnetic field within the room boundaries.
