It detects changes in amount of IR radiation, which is depends upon the outside characteristics and temperature of the objects in front of detector. It means if human or animal will come in range of detector it will detect movement, because live body eliminates warm energy in form of IR Radiation. So it will give you signal by light or alarm when any live object in front of PIR. Generally this sensor used for security reasons, it saves energy, this can be used in several areas where lights are not required and if anybody comes under its detection field it will automatically give lights when required & eliminate higher electricity bills caused careless individuals leaving lights on after leaving rooms. With the help of PIR sensor we introduce INBUILT LED Tube Light, A Smart Sensing Device to TURN FULL BRIGHT 18 Watt when people are in range and TURN DIM To 3.5 Watt only when they leave.
