Frequently Asked Questions
How does the sensor work?
Detects movement and switches light on automatically. When you walk onto the landing at night, it lights up. Switches off after you've passed.
Does it work in daylight?
Most sensors have a daylight setting so they only activate when it's dark. No wasted electricity during the day.
Is it complicated to install?
Involves electrical work to connect the sensor. We ensure it's installed safely and test thoroughly before leaving.
Can I still use the normal switch?
Usually yes - we can wire it so manual override is available. Light comes on automatically or via switch, whichever you prefer.
