Product Information

Full details

The CGC Lighting Mini Recessed Ceiling PIR Motion Sensor is an ideal solution for homeowners and facility managers looking to automate lighting in indoor spaces like hallways, bathrooms, or closets. By leveraging passive infrared technology, it offers the convenience of hands-free light activation, effectively reducing energy consumption. While it provides excellent 360-degree coverage, users should note that its IP20 rating means it is strictly for dry, indoor use and should not be installed in moisture-heavy environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a recessed ceiling cutout and direct wiring into your lighting circuit. Always ensure power is turned off at the mains before beginning installation. The device requires a neutral wire to operate effectively. Once installed, use the two side dials to set your preferred LUX (light level) and TIME (duration). Regular care is minimal; simply wipe the surface of the sensor lens with a dry, lint-free cloth every few months to ensure it remains free of dust or cobwebs, which can interfere with the infrared detection range. This device is rated IP20, meaning it lacks protection against water ingress and must not be used in bathrooms or outdoor locations.
