Reviewing the Best Outdoor Motion Sensor Lights
by Warehouse Lighting
Outdoor security lighting is essential for commercial and industrial settings. How do you provide adequate lighting for your property that's also energy efficient? Motion sensors are the answer. Let's take a look at the best outdoor motion sensor lights to see how they work — and how to make them work for you.
An outdoor motion sensor light is one of the best outdoor security lights and offers you many benefits. It provides additional protection for businesses, offices and warehouses by lighting areas where workers and visitors walk. With the convenience of automatic on-and-off features, outdoor motion lights are a cost-effective way to make your property safer. A motion-activated outdoor light can also help to deter crime and vandalism – criminals don't enjoy being in the spotlight.
Fortunately, you can get a lot of illumination for a very reasonable cost. And the energy efficiency of an LED outdoor motion sensor light won't have a big impact on electric bills. Following are some of the most popular options for reliable exterior motion sensor lights for commercial and industrial use. Once you've had a chance to review your alternatives, Warehouse-Lighting.com can provide further guidance on choosing industrial outdoor motion sensor lights.

How an Outdoor Motion Sensor Light Works
When darkness comes, and you need a way to light the path for workers and visitors, an outdoor motion sensor light is the solution. This intelligent lighting solution senses when there's movement and turns the light on so pedestrians can see where they're going. Another advantage of sensor lights is that they deter intruders and vandals, who prefer to operate in the dark without being seen.
Types of Outdoor Motion Lights
If you need to install a motion sensor outdoor light, we can help. We've chosen three of the most popular types of outdoor motion lights to review. We'll talk about the advantages of each to help you choose the best motion sensor light for your property.
Best LED Motion-Activated Outdoor Light With PIR Sensor
The passive infrared (PIR) sensor is a highly reliable tool for sensing changes in light. The PIR sensor turns the light on when it's dark or when motion is detected. The double heads enable you to position the light in two directions at once for optimal coverage. Its high-impact polycarbonate lens and wide range of operating temperatures make this motion-activated outdoor light ideal for commercial and industrial use.
“This is an excellent light, as have been all purchases from your service. It was easy to install. You had great directions online, and it only took about 20 minutes.”

LED Security Light With Dimmable Option
This LED security light gives you the flexibility to choose the option that will work best for you. You may either install a motion sensor or a dimmer. If you want to control the intensity of the light provided by your security light, dimmers are a terrific solution. On the other hand, if you want the lights to activate based on movement, a motion sensor is the way to go. Just to note, the dimmer and the motion-activated outdoor light features will not work together – you'll need to decide which one you prefer based on your circumstances.

Basic Motion-Activated Outdoor Motion Lights
Sometimes the best outdoor motion lights for the job are the simplest. If you need a motion sensor outdoor light with mid-range capabilities, this one is a solid choice. The twin par fixture has a 180-degree detection angle. The only downside is the fixture doesn't use LED lights, which means it's not as energy efficient and more frequent bulb changes will be required. Keep in mind that because a motion-activated bulb turns on and off frequently, the bulb's lifespan may be shorter than in other applications.
Exterior Motion Sensor Lights: What to Look For
As you're shopping for the best exterior motion sensor lights, there are some characteristics you'll want to consider. They'll help you determine which type of lighting is right for your location:
- Beam Angle: How wide does your beam of light need to be? The best outdoor motion lights have a beam angle of 120 degrees.
- Weather-Resistant: Outdoor sensor flood lights are explicitly rated for exterior use. You know you're in good shape if your light fixture has an EL/IP65 wet location certification.
- Lumens: The brightness of an LED bulb is measured in lumens. Your motion sensor light may be anywhere from 1,800 to 4,800 lumens based on its output.
- Watts: Traditional light bulbs are measured in watts. Outdoor motion lights may range from 90 to 150 watts.
- Housing: The best outdoor security lights feature durable metal housings, quality gaskets and quality wiring that offer years of reliable service.
- Heads: Fixtures with multiple heads can provide multi-directional light over a larger light spread.
