Motion detector switch for automated lighting

August 2016 Sensors & Transducers

Banner Engineering has introduced the WLS28-2MQ motion detector switch for automated lighting. The switches provide an efficient automatic solution to turn on or off the light in applications where a physical switch cannot be used, or the placement of the switch is not useful.

Banner’s motion detector switches are available in two options: an in-line module, or a built-in motion detector for the company’s industry-recognised WLS28-2 LED strip light. The in-line module allows operators to place the motion detection switch away from the light, and can be used with any Banner DC voltage lights. The WLS28-2 with built-in motion detector provides easy and fast installation in one place.

“The motion detection switch offers a simple, convenient lighting solution for applications that don’t easily allow manual on/off switching,” said Matt Hahn, technical marketing engineer for lighting, Banner Engineering. “For example, if the motion detection switch is inside an electrical enclosure, it will automatically turn the light on when the door is open and off when it is closed.”

The motion detector switches feature M12 connectors and rugged metal housing for secure, durable performance. Detector switches are rated for 12 to 30 VDC.

Banner’s WLS28-2 LED strip light delivers a versatile lighting solution featuring a space-saving, low-profile design and various lengths from 145 to 1130 mm. For increased flexibility, the WLS28-2 dual colour is available in cascade models for connecting multiple lights end-to-end. All models offer enhanced light quality with bright, densely spaced LEDs to ensure even, bright and highly efficient illumination.
