For Sunshine Coast homeowners, motion sensors make it easier for everyone to navigate the home after dark and keep you safe and secure.
As the Sunshine Coast continues to grow, more and more residents are looking for ways to improve their home security at night. A sensor light might be just the thing your home needs. Home security is about deterrence and prevention, so keep yourself safe by installing sensor lights in strategic locations that will help deter burglary attempts after dark.
Or perhaps you want the added convenience of turning on your internal or external lighting without having to flick the light switch. Sensor lights are convenient in kitchen pantries, hallways, toilets, laundries and bathrooms for safety and efficiency.
There are many excellent locations to install motion-activated lights inside and outside your home. The ideal location depends on the traffic patterns of your family, the floor plan of your home and where your entry/exit points are located, so consider these options when planning where you might need them:

One of the biggest misconceptions about sensor lights is where they can and should be installed. We've all seen them in parking lots, rear entrances to homes and businesses, driveways and other outdoor locations.
But while there are a lot of places that may look like a suitable location for a sensor light, it's important to know there are some locations to avoid, and there are limitations in the motion sensor products themselves.
These are some of the locations to avoid when installing sensors:
There are various types of sensor lights on the market available to purchase locally at a lighting store or online. These include:
Motion sensors that are integrated into light fittings are the most popular variety of sensor lights. However, generally speaking, the motion sensor built into these fittings is of poor quality and often is the first thing to fail. Most sensor lights we install on the Sunshine Coast are this variety, and they certainly have their place, but keep in mind that the motion sensors don't seem to last forever and can become increasingly unreliable in time.
Where quality and longevity are important, we recommend installing a remote mounted motion sensor to the light. This way, a quality sensor can be connected that will likely last far longer than the cheaper variety installed into light fittings.
Having the light and motion sensor in the same fitting at the same location can sometimes be a compromise - either the light is in a less than ideal location and provides poor illumination, but the place is best for the motion sensor to work, or the light is positioned well, but you are sacrificing the effectiveness of the motion sensor.
Having a motion sensor mounted remotely to the light fitting means the light can be placed where it needs to be, and the sensor can be located where it will be most effective. This option is more expensive to install as more wiring is required; however, reach out to us to arrange a free quote for you to make an informed decision.
Our recommendation for the highest quality motion sensor is the Clipsal Infrascan model. Clipsal supply both the surface mount or recessed motion sensors in the Infrascan range.
We have also had success with the Robus motion sensors, which are at a lower price point.
Sparkies Plus can install customer-supplied sensor lights or supply and install to save you the hassle. Please speak to our experienced electricians today to organise a free quote on installing motion sensors or sensor lights at your home or business.
Quality motion sensors should have 3 x adjustments to allow site-specific programming and tuning for optimal results. These include:
Yes, we can install a sensor light to replace an existing outside light fixture.
Sensor lights are a magnificent way to save money on your energy bill, and they effectively brighten up dark areas around your home without having to leave the lights on all the time.
If you have an outdoor wall or ceiling light that is no longer working, as long as it's in an ideal location, consider converting it into a sensor light. However, the light you are replacing needs to be wired to its own dedicated switch for this to be effective. Talk to us to learn more.
A motion sensor can trigger either using Infra-Red or microwave detection. Most motion sensors on the market are the Infra-Red variety; however, microwave sensors are helpful to trigger when detecting movement or a presence through objects like kitchen cabinetry.
LED lighting is the preferred choice due to its ability to provide instant illumination when activated. It also will have a far longer lifespan than halogen or incandescent lights, which means you won't need to upgrade your lights as often or change bulbs, and it uses far less energy, too, thereby saving you money on your power bill.
The other advantage of LED security lighting is they run much cooler than halogens. Halogen lighting is not recommended for use in outdoor applications due to the intense heat that it emits when the light is on, which can affect surrounding components and cause premature failure of these components if they are not suitably rated for this type of exposure.
LED lighting will also produce a brighter, whiter light which is better for the eyes to see detail and colours at night.
Sparkies Plus is proud to offer you expertly installed sensor lights at your Sunshine Coast home or business. Not only will sensor lights save money on your electricity bill, but they will also keep you safe and secure in your home, plus provide you with an increased level of convenience.
