Why Has This Never Been Thought of Before? - Collingwood H2 Sense LED Downlight

PIR detectors offer a smart solution for energy conservation in lighting, as the most efficient lights are the ones not in use. Yet, installing sensors on the ceiling in homes can pose challenges due to their size and cost. Collingwood has addressed this issue with the innovative H2 Sense - an LED downlight with a built-in PIR sensor. Perfect for bathrooms and corridors where lights are often left on, this solution not only cuts energy costs but also eliminates the need for electricians to install light switch wiring.

They would come in handy in our downstairs toilet, I'm often juggling with a large item in there.

Have you got the link to the emergency lighting option - they look ideal for us in a commercial property undergoing renovation but it isn't shown on the Collingwood website.

Update: spoke to Collingwood. These don't actually have an emergency lighting facility.

Can you common the outputs of two pir variants so both will enable any lights slaved off it? If so i think its a great product and i will be using for sure

Yes, you can loop the permanent feed to a second (or more) PIR fronted fitting and link between the L1's which allows for multiple primaries on one circuit.

Ha ha, all very well in principle but I once got caught in a toilet cubicle when the lights went out because the PIR was in the main washing/urinal area, had to stand up with my trousers down waving furiously above the door to turn the bloody lights back on! Not exactly my finest moment lol.

Detection range of up to 2m? Is that correct? Seems very limited in that regard!

It’s intended for the smaller rooms in a house - so you position the sensor close to a doorway.

@@efixxif the room is considerably bigger than the 2 metres that you have to have the sensor by the hallway to enable it to activate as you enter the room, then you potentially have a problem. If your position in that room is greater than the distance away from the occupancy sensor, when that sensor times out and turns the light out, you can't reactivate the light and turn it back on unless you move towards the sensor. That might involved putting down what is in your hands, standing up and walking in complete darkness. This may not be safe.

It is 2m each way of the perpendicular line along the line of travel mentioned in the video.

I assume the only critical point is the spring loaded connector of the PIR. I know the light itself is IP65 rated, but the connector stripes for the PIR are exposed to humidity.

already invested in downlight fixtures, hive smart lamps, hive motion sensors and hive smart hub. It's a hit and miss system, not always the lights turn off when there is no motion and find myself using the switch and bypass all the "smartness". When you switch them back on, they will stay on indefinitely unless I switch them off from the app. what a waste

Occupancy sensors for home toilets aren't required. It's easy enough to use the light switch to turn on and off. And then there's the quiescent power consumption by the IR sensor and electronics when the light is not activated. Yes it should be low, but you are still paying for wasted electricity. Using a manual switch still works out cheaper.

Yes... 6 watts just to power the sensor 24 hours a day. May as well just leave a 5 watt lamp running all the time. Or not care about turning it off again until you first use the loo in the morning. You'd use half the electricity of the so-called "smart" light. I had an outdoor light like that on the front porch. Apart from the sensor's power wastage, there was the false triggering that was annoying. I replaced it with a smart light, but just using its dusk to dawn time program. It only uses a fraction of a watt when off.

@efixx 17 күн бұрын

Typical PIR uses less than 1 watt.

@travoltasbiplane1551 17 күн бұрын

@@CameraTimDotCom well as the down light has a power rating of 6w total and this will include the lamp itself I very much doubt the pir is going to present a 6w load. Of course there will be some usage but that energy loss will be for the designer to rationalise won't it. Electronic switching has it's place.

@CameraTimDotCom 17 күн бұрын

@efixx the one I *used* to have was about 5 watts just for the sensor. It switched an ordinary bayonet lamp socket on/off, so lighting power was whatever you fitted. I didn't think very highly of it.
