SensorSwitch CM Ceiling Motion Sensor — 360° PIR, 12–24V

Overview

The SensorSwitch CM Series Ceiling Motion Sensor is a compact, low-voltage PIR detector designed for indoor use in commercial spaces. When mounted on ceilings in offices, classrooms, or retail areas, it quietly senses motion and informs lighting controls with a 360° coverage pattern. Its ability to detect small movements, such as a hand gesture, helps keep spaces comfortable while minimizing unnecessary lighting.

Real-world use and benefits

In workplaces, classrooms, and retail spaces, the CM Series enables lights to respond to occupancy naturally, without manual switches. The result can be a calmer lighting rhythm and potential energy-use alignment with activity levels, depending on your system configuration.

Users may notice smoother transitions and reduced need for manual switching, particularly in common areas with frequent, subtle motion. This sensor is designed to integrate with standard lighting setups, helping you modernize control without large hardware changes.
