LED Motion Light Fixtures
LED motion light fixtures create an extra level of security in a home or commercial building situation. It keeps the lights off when no one is around and provides an element of surprise to potential intruders. There are some ways these can be used, especially for places like farms and agricultural lighting. It's a low-cost way to increase your security and to light localized areas.
At BuyLightFixtures.com, we want you to have the best quality motion-sensing light for a high price. All of our motion sensor outdoor lights are made from the finest components and LED arrays. They are all correctly sealed and will not allow any water to get inside. It’s a perfect way to have excellent lighting with that extra level of security with a motion activated light. There’s nothing better to keep the bad guys away than making an area well lit and bring in an element of surprise.
Detection.
Unlike regular LED flood lights, these have a motion sensor that’s going to detect motion in the nearly 180-degree spread. So whether it’s a person or an animal, it’s going to recognize it very quickly and turn the light on. It also has a sensitivity that can be adjusted so that it doesn’t come on too soon or by chance. These are wet location rated like many other LED outdoor wall lights, but these have a very compact size, and everything will last for many years to come. It even comes with a three-year warranty against any early failure. If you have a problem with it in that time, we will get another replacement out to you as per the warranty.
Easy to mount.
This is my wall mounted on an electrical box typically and is very easy to install in almost any residential lighting situation. Of course, this could be used for other types of commercial lighting too, but it has most of its use in a home lighting application. Most of the time, people like to use this with a bronze outdoor rated paint which will stay this color for many years to come. There will be minimal fading of the bronze, and if you’re one of those people that like something in a different color, we also have it in white. The quality of these lights is superior to anything you might see in a local store which is usually something that’s a retail type quality. It does make a difference in how well something lasts over the long term and how well it’s going to perform as far as lighting goes.
Quantity discounts.
If you are an apartment complex or a condominium and you use this type of lighting for general security on units, you may be looking at a more significant quantity. If you are, we can get you special pricing and a quote based on that quantity. Case quantities are usually 12 in a case. If you order that many at once, you could enjoy free shipping on us.
Saving money is always good.
Although these are on intermittently, they do save energy, and they have an extremely long life for the LEDs. Typically anywhere from 35,000 to 50,000 hours rated life. It’s a very long time for something that’s commonly used in a home lighting application. In that type of the situation, something could last up to 20 years or more, depending on how you use it. And of course, if you use it more often at a regular floodlight at night, it will last less than that. These are at a solar motion sensor light because typically something like this would be too expensive with the solar collection and the battery required to operate this much wattage. It goes straight into line voltage whatever you may have and will work with any electrical box as stated before.
Good lighting.
Some people ask whether this is going to be useful to push the light out into the outdoor space. It will as it has the LEDs deeply set within the reflector and that’s going to give you that good directional light that will be very effective for lighting up an area. You do have a choice between two or three heads for each light fixture, and many people have been choosing the three head version because it doesn’t ignore that middle area that some of these other sensor lights do. Most of the time people have them pointed at a 45-degree angle each way, and that leaves the middle less light it up. Although there’s enough spread to cover it all, with such a low wattage it might make sense to add that third head. It is effective to get light in the 180 degrees along with the motion sensor.
Some alternatives we carry.
If you’re using this for a security light, to keep the bad guys away, it’s one of the best things you can do for your home because the light is one of the cheapest forms of insurance and safety. It’s well known that criminals don’t like well-lit areas and typically they will move on to another area, something that’s not so well lit. If you want to make a more significant statement with security lighting, we do have many other light fixture options such as our wall packs or LED floods that are much brighter than even these. They’re typically not motion sensor lights, so people will often leave them on all night long. This is especially true in areas that are sparsely populated, and people feel more secure having lights on at night around the property. One of the other choices you can use for wall lights is our LED wall packs which come in a lot of different configurations. Everything from the standard wall pack that puts the light in nearly every different direction, to other types that have a cutoff configuration which points the light down but not up. That eliminates more light pollution in urban areas, and it’s more effective for getting the light where you want it down below. Using the other type in getting light in every direction isn’t necessarily the best way to use light. It’s not efficient, but it’s something that was used for many years even before LEDs and a lot of people still like that style of light.
