That means the most important part of the installation process is finding the right position for your needs – somewhere where the motion sensor will easily pick up movement while still casting light in the right area. Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. As well as being more accurate and responsive than many we’ve tried, a built-in daylight sensor helps to preserve energy and battery life when not needed. Lastly, placing sensor lights in entry halls and landings is a great way to ensure you’ll be greeted by hassle-free luminosity when arriving home in the dark, or for wayfaring your route to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse.It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs. This is particularly handy if you live with a partner who goes by a different schedule to your own, negating the need for one of you to turn on bigger, brighter lights while the other sleeps. Illuminate’s broad range of motion sensor lights spans lots of easily installed indoor and outdoor options.

If you’re looking to sensor-enable exisitng lamps and light fittings, Hive’s smart bulbs streamline the process thanks to an easy-to-use ecosystem.If you’re looking to spend a little less on your sensor light set-up, affordable go-to, Shein, has gotten in on the action with a considerably cheaper alternative to others we’ve tried. Easy to install and extra bright (with 54 LEDs offering up to 360 lumens), it also comes with impressive sensor sensitivity, scanning a 120-degree radius up to five metres away. Coming in around 30cm, the aluminium strip has a reliable hand-sweeping sensor and gives out an effective bright light. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. It’s not rechargeable, so you’ll have to position it within 2m range of a power source and find a way to disguise the wire.

ABS is made from oil-based, non-renewable raw materials, but development is progressing and we are using more and more recycled ABS. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. For a more aesthetic upshot in kitchens, they can create ambient mood lighting when placed on the underside of a breakfast bar or table.

Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same. A well-positioned sensor light at the top of a cabinet will brighten up your food prep and could save you from uncovering forgotten tins and packets long after their best before date. There’s even the option to tailor to your interior by choosing between slick “space silver” and “piano black” colourways, both in an ultra-thin build of less than a centimetre. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials.

While most sensor strip lights will offer an instant upgrade to wardrobes, there’s no getting around the fact that you’ll still likely have a clothing rail standing between the glow of your light and the clothes you want lit. A must for the “house of the future”, this bundle allows for a highly customisable set-up that offers more control than any other option in our round-up, but you will be restricted to existing fixtures that are connected to mains power.By using sensor lights that only turn on as you use them, you’ll save energy compared to lights that have to be controlled by a switch. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles.
