Lamp Base Standard E27 Socket AC 170-250V Infrared Sensor PIR Motion Detector Automatic Wall Light Holder

The Lamp Base Standard E27 Socket with an AC 170-250V Infrared Sensor PIR Motion Detector is a practical device designed to automatically control lighting based on motion detection. Here’s a detailed overview of its features, installation, and applications:

Key Features

1. Standard E27 Socket:
   • Compatible with standard E27 screw base bulbs, including LED, CFL, and incandescent bulbs.
2. Infrared PIR Motion Sensor:
   • PIR (Passive Infrared): Detects motion based on changes in infrared radiation.
   • Detection Range: Typically up to 6-8 meters.
   • Detection Angle: Usually around 120 degrees.
3. Voltage:
   • Input Voltage: AC 170-250V, suitable for a wide range of electrical systems.
4. Automatic Operation:
   • Day/Night Mode: Often includes a light sensor to ensure the light only activates in low light conditions.
   • Time Delay: Adjustable delay time after motion is detected, commonly ranging from 10 seconds to several minutes.
5. Energy Efficiency:
   • Automatically turns the light on when motion is detected and off after a preset period, conserving energy.
6. Safety and Convenience:
   • Ideal for enhancing home security and providing convenient, hands-free lighting.

Applications

• Home Security: Automatically lights up areas when motion is detected, deterring potential intruders.
• Hallways and Staircases: Provides lighting when movement is detected, increasing safety.
• Outdoor Lighting: Perfect for porches, patios, and gardens to provide light when someone approaches.
• Bathrooms and Closets: Automatically lights up these spaces when entered.

Installation

Tools Required

• Screwdriver
• Voltage tester
• Wire strippers (if needed)
• Ladder (for ceiling or high wall installations)

Installation Steps

1. Safety First:
   • Turn off the power supply at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock during installation.
   • Use a voltage tester to confirm that the power is off.
2. Remove the Existing Fixture:
   • If replacing an existing light fixture, carefully remove it and disconnect the wires.
3. Connect the Wires:
   • Live Wire (L): Connect the live wire from the power supply to the live terminal on the PIR motion detector base.
   • Neutral Wire (N): Connect the neutral wire from the power supply to the neutral terminal on the base.
   • Earth Wire (if applicable): Connect the earth wire to the grounding terminal.
4. Mount the Lamp Base:
   • Secure the lamp base to the wall or ceiling using screws and wall anchors provided.
   • Ensure the PIR sensor is positioned to cover the desired detection area.
5. Install the Bulb:
   • Screw a compatible E27 bulb into the socket. Ensure the bulb type and wattage are suitable for the socket’s specifications.
6. Adjust the Settings:
   • Set the desired time delay and sensitivity for the PIR sensor according to your preferences and requirements.
7. Power On:
   • Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
   • Test the motion sensor by moving within the detection range to ensure the light activates correctly.

Operating Instructions

• Automatic Mode: The light will turn on automatically when motion is detected within the sensor’s range and will turn off after the preset delay time.
• Manual Override (if available): Some models may have a manual override function to keep the light on continuously or off as needed.

Troubleshooting

• Light Does Not Turn On:
  • Check that the bulb is properly installed and functional.
  • Ensure the power supply is connected and turned on.
  • Verify the wiring connections are secure and correct.
  • Adjust the PIR sensor sensitivity and check the detection range.
• Light Stays On:
  • Ensure there are no continuous sources of motion in the sensor’s range.
  • Adjust the time delay setting to a shorter duration.
  • Check for any obstructions or reflections that might be falsely triggering the sensor.
• Light Flickers:
  • Check for a stable power supply.
  • Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the socket.
  • Verify the bulb is compatible with the PIR sensor base.

Safety Precautions

• Electrical Safety: Always turn off the power before installing or servicing the device.
• Bulb Compatibility: Use bulbs that are compatible with the socket and within the recommended wattage range.
• Environment: Install the sensor in a dry location and avoid exposure to direct water or extreme weather conditions unless the unit is rated for outdoor use.
