Installing sensors is the simplest way to conserve energy. Light and motion sensors are perfect assistants to have in order to reduce energy consumption. Danlers R & D team develop next gen products in an industry that is undergoing rapid change due to the influx of LED lighting and digital technology.

All Danlers energy saving products are designed by their in-house team, from complex electronic circuitry, to the aesthetics and ergonomics of designing easy to install products, suitable for both the commercial and domestic market.

Take a look at their trend setting range of sensors described here under.

About PIR technology: PIRs have a pyroelectric sensor that detects levels of infrared radiation – everything emits some low-level radiation, but a human body emits a good amount of heat. The PIR has four elements made of a special material that is sensitive to infrared. When the sensor senses a differential change between the two slots, this causes a pulse, which is what it detects as “movement”. In simple terms, it senses movement by identifying change in temperature between the warm body and the surrounding.

About Microwave technology: As efficient as PIR technology is, it is limited by the ambient temperature conditions. In ambient temperatures higher than our body temperatures, the PIR sensors are unable to detect motion! In such cases we need to implement Microwave technology. Microwave sensors implement an active method of detecting motion. The sensor emits microwave signals and then measures the length of time taken for the signal to return. Should there be any movement in the area of detection, the time taken for the signals to return will vary indicating motion in the area.

About photocell and motion sensor technology: Photocells use semiconductors to control electric current. Under normal conditions, semiconductors won’t conduct electricity, but when they’re exposed to enough light, current starts to flow. In some products, the photocell function is adjustable, so you can choose the light level that will activate the semiconductor. The main difference between photocells and motion sensors is that the former detects changing light levels, and the latter reacts to physical movement. There are sensors available which can simultaneously detect light levels and motion.

Danlers have launched a new range of energy saving controls in collaboration with Casambi, one of the world's leading providers of smart wireless lighting control technologies. Casambi enabled sensors from Danlers, like all Casambi products, automatically form a wireless mesh network.

The lighting can be controlled via the Casambi app on smartphones, tablets, smart watches, push buttons and switches. The app is free of charge and available for Android & Apple iPhone platforms.

The Casambi system is ideal for retrofitting into existing installations because there is no need for additional wiring to communicate between devices. New enabled controls, including the Danlers sensors, can be added to a network at any time making the system not only scalable but flexible and cost effective.

Other Casambi lighting control solutions that can be integrated with Danlers sensors include: Scene setting, colour changing, colour temperature, fade times, minimum dim levels, schedules and many other options.
