Combining an outdoor LED floodlight with a sensor can have a pretty good effect, when you use it you can save energy, can operate hands-free, and turn on lights based on movement to help deter burglars.
Grippers with or without built-in sensors
LED floodlights with sensors for outdoor use can be subdivided into two categories. On the one hand, there are fixtures with built-in motion detectors. On the other hand, there are freestanding models for which you need to install a separate motion sensor.
Built-in sensor
These lights are equipped with internal sensors. So there is no need to buy a separate motion detector.
The limited options are a downside of this type of outdoor lighting. You can add external sensors to any fixture, but only a few models have built-in motion sensors.
However, there are two important advantages that counteract this. First, it's a little easier to install these lights. Second, the design is more stylish because the fixture and sensor are perfectly integrated.
External sensor
Of course, you can always combine an LED floodlight (or other wall light) with a separate motion sensor. This is possible for any type of luminaire, regardless of the light source. This gives you a lot more options in terms of Styles and models.
Additionally, multiple lights can be connected to one sensor. All you have to do is make sure that the total power consumption of all lights does not exceed 1,000 watts.
The disadvantage of using an external sensor is the extra step required to connect the sensor. Finally, buying LED floodlights with separate sensors can be a bit more expensive than lamps with internal motion detectors.
