If you own or manage a business, you’re likely always looking for ways to minimize operating costs. Having an electrician upgrade your lighting system to work on motion sensors can accomplish just that. The guide below looks at some of the practical advantages.

3 Reasons to Switch to Motion Sensor Lighting

1. Lower Utility Bills

It’s not uncommon for the last person out of the office to forget to turn the light off for the day. Similarly, there are rooms—like the bathroom—which burn electricity even when there is no one using them. By setting them to come on automatically when someone’s presence is detected and to shut down after a certain amount of time without movement, you ensure that the lights are never on unnecessarily for lower monthly bills.

2. Safety

Preferring the darkness, they may rethink their plans if the exterior lights turn on as they approach your building—especially if used in combination with security cameras.

3. Longer Equipment Life Span

Most LED lights last approximately 50,000 hours, but motion activated lights usually last even longer since they completely shut off between uses. As a result, you won’t have to replace the bulbs as often—nor will you need to call an electrician as much to perform repairs from overuse.
