A familiar scene: you come home late, with loaded arms, and have to cross the dark driveway, groping... What if the light would automatically light up when you pass?
The external light terminals With detectors are not only practical: they improve safety, reduce energy consumption and turn your exterior into smart space.
And the most amazing thing is, you won't have to do anything... except pass the front.
Automatic lighting: more comfort in everyday life
No need to look for a switch or schedule a timer: the terminal activates only at the slightest movement. This type of lighting is particularly suitable for areas of passage such as alleys, garage entrance or outdoor stairs.
You get your dog out at night? The light lights up as soon as you first step into the garden. And when the kids run in from the garden, there is no need to scream to light the light: it moves them ahead.
"A sensor terminal is a comfort that is noticeable, and it lights itself, without any need to think about it."
— Christophe Coelho, founder of Lumihome
Secure your exterior without aesthetic compromise
After the comfort of use, place to safety! Automatic ignition has an immediate deterrent effect on unwanted visitors. At the least presence detected, the light ssactive, indicating that the house is "awakened".
But, unlike a wall projector, often imposing and not very discreet, a terminal with a detector offers soft, integrated and very efficient lighting without distorting a facade.
Discover our selection of outdoor solar terminals with detector to combine discretion, design and safety.
Energy saving and extended life
A luminaire that only works when necessary is less electrical consumption — and more autonomy for solar versions. The detector considerably reduces unnecessary lighting times.
By limiting ignition/extinguishing cycles, you also extend the life of LEDs and components.
"It's not intensity that counts, it's mastery. We're brighter, fairer, and longer."
Custom settings to fit your garden
On most quality models, including the Lumihome range, you can set:
-
The sensor range (up to 8 or 10 metres)
-
The ignition time (from a few seconds to several minutes)
-
The threshold of twilight activation (to trigger it only in case of darkness)
Did you know that? Some Lumihome terminals allow to regulate the sensor sensitivity — practical if you have animals or trees a little too much alive in windy weather.
Integrated design: unsightly detectors finished
Farewell the large black sensors badly fixed under a housing! Motion sensors like those of Lumihome are fully integrated into the terminal structure: they do not distort the design or decorative function of lighting.
The result: a product that is always elegant, minimalist, blends in its environment... while fully ensuring its mission.
Easy installation and reduced maintenance
Install a outside chub with detector does not require no specific wiring The sensor is already integrated into the main circuit. The installation is done as for any terminal:
And on the maintenance side, there is nothing to predict, if it is a small cleaning of the sensor from time to time.
Don't hesitate to read this article on how to safely place an outer terminal.
Detector + solar = autonomy and total freedom
The models of solar terminals with detector offer even faster installation as they do not need any electrical connections.
This is the ideal solution for tenants, renovations or remote areas without any current. And since the light only lights up if needed, the autonomy is largely sufficient even in winter.
The limits to know (and how to choose well)
A poorly oriented or oversensitive detector can activate at every cat passage or wind blow. Hence the interest of testing the installation before permanent fixation, and choosing a model with sensitivity adjustment.
Also think about directing your terminal in such a way that Target the area to be secured, without unnecessarily lighting the street or areas not affected.
The rest?
The motion sensor is the cherry on the terminal. You gain in comfort, safety and autonomy... without adding another button.
With the Lumihome models, this technology becomes as invisible as it is essential. And once tested, it is difficult to go back.
