Switch off the lights...
This phrase is probably one of the most repeated in homes today; with escalating electricity costs and children who inevitably never remember to turn anything off; help is at hand.
Light within the home can be made more efficient and environmentally friendly with a few simple additions. These technology-based conservation products are called Passive Infrared modules (PIR's) which are a range of simple, effective time delay modules.
"Passive infrared detection" is basically the detection of a change in temperature, often from body heat. If someone walks into an area protected by a sensor with Passive Infrared (PIR) Detection, then their body heat is detected, and the sensor is triggered. When the temperature is returned to its normal level, the motion sensor resets ensuring electricity is not being consumed unnecessarily thereby helping to reduce electricity costs and protect the environment.
The range of PIR's can be either ceiling mounted for discretion or housed in a single gang switch plate and is therefore suitable for most existing installations and an easy to install light switch replacement.
Most PIR's also have integral time delay switches.
In bathrooms and toilets PIR's are also adapted to run the extractor fan only when the room is occupied.
PIR's are very useful in basements and cellars to give you a safe path upstairs, knowing the lights will switch themselves off behind you.
Handy in Utility rooms when your arms are full of laundry or a bowl of freshly arranged flowers. No need to remember to return later!
Know your garden lights will switch off automatically as you leisurely clear away your 'sundowners'.
In an age of environmental responsibility, you simply cannot afford to leave lights on unnecessarily. With these innovative products you will almost certainly notice an immediate reduction in your monthly bills and your carbon footprint will improve, as will your sanity. No more nagging, surely a win win situation.
