Occupancy sensors turn the lights on instantly when detecting changes in heat across a sector in the lens. This is typically the difference in heat between a human body and the air temperature. It can also be the heat difference between a forklift and the air temperature.

The sensor is factory set to reset itself every 10 minutes after it sees a difference in temperature. After you leave the room the lights are on for 10 minutes. If you are in a room, as long as the sensor can see you once every 10 minutes the lights will stay on continuously. The sensors we use are designed for higher up applications where the sensor can see out further.

We have installed data loggers in many facilities which record the occupancy, showing the amount of time throughout the day that the space is occupied by workers. Typical sensor savings range from 20% for manufacturing to up to 80% for a warehouse. The longer your hours, the greater the occupancy sensor savings, as typically the 2nd and 3rd shifts have fewer employees. Approximately 90% of the fixtures we have sold have occupancy sensors on them.

Along with energy savings, occupancy sensors can also qualify your facility for a federal tax deduction of $.60/sq.ft.
