{"title":"Presence Detectors for Reception Areas","description":"\u003cp\u003ePresence detectors for entryways switch the light on automatically as soon as you open your front door, so you don't have to fumble for the switch in the dark with your hands full. At GreenIce you'll find PIR and microwave motion sensors, for ceilings and walls, easy to connect to your existing lighting installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypes of detectors for the entryway\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecessed PIR sensors\u003c\/strong\u003e: 360º or 140º mini versions, built into the suspended ceiling and almost invisible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface-mounted PIR sensors\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180º or 360º, also in an ultra-flat version, for ceilings without a suspended ceiling or for walls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave sensors\u003c\/strong\u003e: detect smaller movements and work through thin materials, with ranges from 2 to 10 meters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeiling lights with integrated sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e: a single unit that lights and detects, with no separate sensor to install.

A presence detector adds convenience and safety, and it also prevents the light being left on when you rush out, which means savings. It works very well in hallways leading off the entryway, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a presence detector for your entryway\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePIR or microwave technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePIR detects moving heat and is the most common choice in homes. Microwave is more sensitive and is the better choice when the entryway has nooks or you want to detect small movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAngle and location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the ceiling, a 360º sensor covers the whole entrance; on a wall, a 180º sensor facing the door is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLoad capacity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the maximum load: many models support up to 1200 W incandescent and 300 W LED, more than enough for an entryway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTimer and brightness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the on-time after the last detection and the light threshold so it only activates when needed.
