One of the latest crazes in home lighting is the use of motion sensors. But there’s nothing crazy about this craze.

There are many areas of the home that pose dangers or present risks, often depending on your age group. For instance, a child might be at risk when playing around the stove, while an elderly individual is more likely to be at risk when using the stairs.

Making the decision to install a motion sensor light for your home or business can have many benefits. Aside from providing safety by lighting dark corners and walkways, the motion sensor activation can save you money on energy costs and maintenance.

Motion sensor technology has advanced so much that today you can program your home alarm in a way that your pets won’t activate it, but intruders will.

We’ve mentioned light switches in many articles because they are a very important part of lighting design. If you do everything else right but you select ugly light switches or install them in the wrong places, all your work is wasted.

The front door light or front porch light on most homes is not motion controlled. The light is either on or off, depending on whether someone remembered to flick the switch.
