Occupancy Switches / Vacancy Sensors

Occupancy sensors are great in areas where you want the convenience of the lights turning ON and OFF automatically: such as

• laundry rooms
• garages
• basements
• pantries
• closets
• storage areas.

Vacancy sensors, require the user to manually turn ON the lights,  are recommended for high traffic areas such as

• hallways
• children’s rooms
• living rooms
• dining rooms
• bathrooms
• and where people and pets frequent often

Remodeling

When remodeling, many building departments require updating the switches in some areas when you obtain a permit.
