Description
Turn your LEDs on with Motion!
Get our motion sensor for 3 - 12 volt input or 7 - 19 volt input. The motion sensors are rated for 600 mAh and can run up to 30 of our LEDs!
**The motion sensor does not operate consistently on a coin cell battery; therefore, we do not recommend using it with either our standard or small coin cell holders. ****
In tests, the round white sensor "ball" can detect motion up to 4-6 feet away, depending on the environment. The sensor keeps the lights on while there is motion. After the motion stops, the lights remain on for up to 30 seconds. We found that just being near the motion sensor was enough to keep the lights on until we walked away.
This is a great way to have your projects light up when you walk up to them or even walk by! And have your lights turn off automatically when you leave.
Model Train Enthusiasts: Use this sensor to detect your model train as it passes, triggering a crossing gate signal further down the track. The sensor will turn on the crossing signal, then automatically turn off 20-30 seconds later when the train is no longer triggering it.
Dimensions:- 15mm Diameter

There are four wires already attached to the motion sensor: two input wires to connect to your chosen power supply, and two wires to connect to your LEDs.
The longer wires on the Motion Sensor connect to the wires on your power supply. The shorter wires on the sensor connect to all of your LED wires. You can of course cut any of the wires; just remember the orientation from power to the sensor, from the sensor to your LEDs.
This sensor is 600 milliamperes.
Why have a switch on the battery if the motion sensor is a switch?
The black switch is on/off, so if it is left in the on state, it will not affect the motion sensing. This sensor will always turn on with motion, so the black on/off switch provides a consistent way to keep the project off when needed.
