hiBCTR 12V PIR Motion Sensor Switch for LED Floodlights

The hiBCTR 2-pack outdoor PIR DC 12V motion sensor switch automatically turns 12V LED floodlights on when it detects movement, with adjustable sensitivity and timer settings for reliable security and area lighting.

This compact pair of passive infrared (PIR) switches is designed for low-voltage LED floodlight systems, offering wide-angle detection, anti-pet filtering, and industrial-grade build standards. Each module accepts 12V DC input and supports resistive and inductive loads while meeting several EU safety and electromagnetic standards. The controls let you fine-tune how quickly the unit reacts, how long lights remain on, and the detection reach—making it suitable for driveways, backyards, signage, and perimeter lighting where a dependable, weatherproof sensor is needed.

How accurate is the motion detection and what area will it cover?

The hiBCTR sensor provides a broad field of view with precise coverage to minimize missed activations and false triggers. Its detection cone spans 140° horizontally and 90° vertically with up to 10 meters of effective range under normal conditions.

• 140° horizontal × 90° vertical detection angle for wide-area coverage
• Up to 10 m maximum sensing distance for typical installations
• Anti-pet immunity filters out small animals up to 25 kg to reduce false activations
• Compliant with EN 50131-2-2 for enhanced detection reliability

Can I adjust sensitivity and how long the light stays on?

Yes—the sensor includes user-accessible potentiometers for both sensitivity and timer settings so you can adapt performance to the site. You can set the trigger interval from very brief activations to long holds, and fine-tune sensitivity to avoid nuisance switching from minor motion or environmental noise.

• Adjustable sensitivity via potentiometer to suit installation height and traffic
• Delay timer range: 5 seconds to 30 minutes (±10% tolerance)
• Auto-reset circuitry restores standby operation after each cycle
• Overload protection safeguards connected fixtures from excessive current

What electrical and environmental specifications should I expect?

The module is made for low-voltage DC lighting systems and is rated to operate across typical outdoor temperature ranges while resisting water ingress. It accepts nominal 12V DC input and handles modest lighting loads appropriate for LED flood fixtures.

• Input: 12V DC ±10% (10–30VA input range)
• Load capacity: 30W resistive / 15W inductive—sized for LED floodlights and similar fixtures
• Operating temperature: -30°C to +60°C with IP44 weatherproof housing
• Meets CE EMC, RoHS 3 readiness, and EN 55015 EMI standards

How durable and installation-friendly is the sensor?

The hiBCTR sensor is built to withstand outdoor conditions and frequent use, with approvals and ratings that support long-term deployment. Wiring and mounting are straightforward for electricians and DIY installers familiar with 12V systems.

• IP44-rated enclosure for protection against splashing water and dust
• Operational class EN 60721-3-5 5K5 for exposure to outdoor elements
• Compact footprint fits behind fixtures or in junction boxes near LED loads
• Two-pack offers redundancy or multi-zone coverage without additional purchases

Who is this for? Installers, property managers, and homeowners who run low-voltage LED floodlights and want an affordable, adjustable motion control solution will benefit from the hiBCTR 2-pack. It’s suited to perimeter lighting, signage illumination, driveway safety, and small commercial exterior lighting where accurate PIR activation, anti-pet filtering, and weather resistance are required. Choose this sensor pack when you need simple wiring, clear adjustment options, and standards-compliant durability for everyday outdoor lighting control.
