PIR Motion Sensing Switch | LED Strip Sensor
The PIR Motion Sensing Switch provides convenient automatic control for compatible low-voltage LED strip lights. The sensor detects movement and switches the connected LED lighting on when someone enters the detection area.
Designed for 5–24V DC constant-voltage systems, this compact PIR switch is suitable for stair lighting, garages, cabinets, closets and other areas where automatic lighting can improve convenience.
Automatic LED Strip Lighting Control
The PIR motion sensing switch detects movement within its sensing range and controls the connected LED strip.
When a person enters the detection area, the sensor activates the lighting. This provides light when it is needed without requiring a traditional wall switch.
The switch is particularly useful in areas that are frequently accessed for short periods.
3–4m Detection Distance
The integrated PIR sensor provides a detection distance of approximately 3–4 metres.
This range allows the switch to detect movement across a useful area around the sensor. The 120° detection angle also provides broad motion coverage.
Therefore, the sensor can work well in stairways, entry areas, cabinets, garages and similar indoor applications.
5–24V DC Low-Voltage Operation
The PIR Motion Sensing Switch supports an input voltage range of 5–24V DC.
It also provides a 5–24V DC constant-voltage output for compatible LED strip lighting.
This makes the switch suitable for low-voltage LED installations where the LED strip and power supply operate within the specified voltage range.

Up to 3A Output Current
The PIR switch supports a maximum 3A output current.
Its maximum rated power varies according to the operating voltage:
- 15W at 5V
- 72W at 24V
Always ensure the connected LED strip load stays within the rated output current and power limits.
Dupont Connectors
The switch uses Dupont male and female connectors to provide a convenient connection method for compatible low-voltage LED lighting systems.
These connectors can help simplify installation and make the sensor easier to integrate into suitable LED strip lighting setups.
Always check connector polarity and compatibility before connecting the system.
Bilateral Snap Design
The bilateral snap design makes the PIR motion sensing switch easy to position and install.
Its compact construction is useful for installations where the sensor needs to remain discreet while still providing effective motion detection.
Reverse-Polarity Protection
The switch includes reverse-polarity protection to help protect the device from incorrect DC power connection.
However, correct polarity should always be confirmed during installation.
Stair Lighting Applications
The PIR Motion Sensing Switch is well suited to automatic stair lighting.
When someone approaches or enters the detection area, the sensor can activate the connected LED strip. This provides convenient illumination without requiring the user to locate a switch.
It can also be used as part of a low-voltage LED stair lighting system.
Cabinet and Closet Lighting
The compact PIR switch is also useful for cabinets, closets and storage areas.
It can automatically activate compatible LED strip lighting when movement is detected. This makes it useful for areas where a standard light switch may not be convenient.
Garage and Utility Lighting
The sensor can also be used for suitable garage, storage and utility-area lighting.
Motion activation provides light when the area is being accessed. As a result, it can provide a convenient alternative to manually switching lights on and off.
Operating Temperature
The PIR switch is designed to operate between -30°C and +50°C.
This wide operating temperature range provides flexibility for suitable indoor low-voltage lighting applications.
Compact Design
The package dimensions are approximately 80 × 45 × 30mm.
The compact size allows the sensor to be incorporated into suitable lighting installations without taking up excessive space.
