Garden Lighting That Responds to MovementThe Light Symphony PIR Motion Sensor, model LS30070PIR, adds motion-triggered operation to a compatible garden lighting system. It can be configured to call on the whole garden or a selected area for a preset period, giving the lighting a useful automatic role around an entrance or route.For example, a path can respond when someone walks towards the house while other decorative areas remain under manual control. The trigger should serve the way the space is used, rather than turning on every circuit unnecessarily. Mains Powered With Wireless SignallingThe sensor uses a mains supply and transmits its commands by radio to compatible Light Symphony equipment. There are no sensor batteries to replace, but the power connection still requires electrical installation.Its black housing and pale detection lens are mounted on an adjustable assembly. The manufacturer lists IP55 protection and adjustment horizontally and vertically to help aim the detection area. How Timing and Dusk Settings WorkThe lighting on-time can be adjusted from 1 to 15 minutes. Sensitivity and dusk adjustment allow the installer to tune the response and avoid unwanted daytime lighting operation.The sensor is designed not to cancel lights that have already been switched on manually. More than one compatible PIR can be incorporated into the system when different approaches require detection.PIR detection depends on the installation and surrounding activity. Position and test it carefully rather than describing it as animal-proof or assuming every movement will produce the intended result. Where It Works BestA PIR suits an area where you want movement detection without mounting a pair of facing beam heads. The practical detection coverage should be established on site around the doorway, path or approach.Where a sharply defined crossing point is more appropriate, the Driveway Beam Sensor offers a different detection method. It is worth choosing between them according to the route and possible sources of unwanted activation. Part of the Wider Lighting SchemeThe PIR triggers the system; it does not replace the controllers connected to the lighting circuits. Those outputs still need to be correctly specified for the fittings.Light Symphony lists a wireless range of up to 1,000 metres in clear line of sight. Radio obstructions and detection coverage are separate considerations, so both need checking during commissioning.Good to Know IP55 mains powered PIR sensor. Adjustable lighting on-time of 1 to 15 minutes. Adjustable sensitivity, dusk setting and sensor direction. Requires compatible Light Symphony lighting control equipment. Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician. One year warranty. For change of mind returns, see our returns policy before installation. Separate terms apply to trade orders. Questions People AskIs the Light Symphony PIR battery powered?No. The LS30070PIR is mains powered, but it sends its lighting commands wirelessly to the Light Symphony system.Will the PIR switch off lights I have turned on manually?No. Light Symphony specifies that the PIR respects manual operation, so it should not override lights already switched on by the user.Can the PIR operate only one lighting area?Yes, if it is programmed that way within the Light Symphony system. It can be set for the whole garden or a selected area.Is wireless range the same as motion detection range?No. Wireless range describes communication with the lighting system. It is not the same as the PIR's movement detection distance.
