Sensor Series

An LED strip dimmable sensor like the EB-V(C) or EB-CV(L) handles both on/off switching and stepless PWM dimming through hand gestures. Hold your hand 1 to 6 cm beneath the optical head to ramp brightness smoothly from 10% to 100%, or do a quick wave to switch power. The EB-CV(L) runs at a 2000Hz PWM frequency to prevent visible camera flicker, supporting up to 4A (96W on 24V).

A PIR sensor for LED lights detects moving body heat and requires an unobstructed line of sight, whereas a 10.525GHz microwave sensor penetrates thin non-metallic barriers like wood, glass, and drywall. PIR models like our ER-A recessed head sit flush in cabinetry to monitor open doorways, while microwave units like the EH-M(WZ) can mount completely hidden inside a false ceiling or wardrobe soffit.

An integrated ambient light sensor measures ambient daylight in lux and blocks movement triggers whenever room lighting exceeds the set threshold. Controllers such as the EV-R and E1-RS keep your 12V or 24V LED strip lights completely dark until ambient illumination drops below roughly 10 to 30 lux, saving power in sunny rooms and staircases.

Wire an LED strip dimmable sensor on the DC low-voltage side, placed directly between the constant voltage power supply output and your LED strip lights. Never place these low-voltage sensors on the 110V/230V AC line feeding your driver. Connect DC+ and DC- from your 12V or 24V driver to the sensor input terminals, then wire your LED strip to the output side, paying close attention to polarity.

Optical door sensors false-trigger when high-gloss cabinet interiors reflect infrared light back into the detector receiver. Our ED-V(C) and ED-CV(D) switches rely on beam interruption within an 8 to 10 cm sensing window. If dark wood absorbs the beam or a high-gloss white finish bounces it erratically, place a small piece of matte white tape opposite the sensor head to give the infrared receiver a clean reflection.

Controllers like our ES32-V and ES24 use dual PIR sensors mounted at the top and bottom risers to detect entry direction and fire each step sequentially. The controller runs 5V to 24V constant voltage LED strip lights across up to 32 individual channels at 1A per step. When a person steps onto the bottom tread, step one illuminates, followed by step two and three in a smooth cascade. Check our stair light installation guide for exact sensor riser heights and wiring schematics.

Yes, the ES-V controller manages dual-color 3-wire tunable white LED strip lights from 12V to 48V using external sensor inputs. Across the 54 live models in our sensor series, we stock dedicated CCT-compatible sensor receivers that dim brightness and preserve your chosen color temperature balance. You can connect PIR motion heads, door sensors, or EB-C hand sweep heads to the same controller, adjusting single-color or dual-white strips with zero flicker.

Capacitive touch dimmer heads like the EC-A work through non-metallic surfaces, but maximum material thickness is strictly limited to 3mm to 5mm. If you mount a touch sensor behind 20mm quartz, marble, or solid oak, it will not register fingertip capacitance. For thick solid surfaces, core drill a 10mm pocket from the underside to leave a 2mm veneer face, or switch to an infrared hand-sweep sensor head flush-mounted with the cabinet frame.

Yes, you can parallel multiple door sensor switches to control one long run of cabinet LED strip lights using a synchronous distribution hub. In a four-door wardrobe run, wiring multiple ED-V(C) or ED-CV(D) heads to a master unit from our cabinet lighting controllers turns on the interior LED strip lights whenever any single door opens. The lights fade off smoothly over 1 second only after all doors are fully shut.
