Security lights and PIR lights are motion detectors that do not just help deter intruders but also allow you to move safely around in the dark. Most of these lights have a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that gets activated when objects or people come into its field of view. Hence, they also help save energy and money as you don't have to keep the lights switched on when you are using the garden. It's important to have security lights all the way around your premises. Install them above entryways, including doors, windows, garages, and along paths in your front and backyards. They will not only scare off intruders but also help you see at night.
Solar security systems utilize various motion sensing technologies, but PIR sensors are the most common. Though most often used for security and safety purposes, PIR motion sensors are also common in automated lighting systems, where they are known to save energy by limiting electricity in unoccupied areas. PIR sensors come in various forms, most of which are small, inexpensive, and easy to install.
