Which Sensor Light Suits Alice Springs?
Short answer: an LED floodlight with a motion sensor, rated for dust and weather, mounted where it looks across the path people walk rather than straight at them. LED keeps the running cost low, and a sensor means it is only on when it is needed.
Most sensor lights use a PIR sensor, which detects the heat of a moving person against the background. On a hot Central Australian night the background can be close to body temperature, so a PIR can be less sensitive then. Aiming it across the approach, not head-on, and keeping it away from heat sources like vents and hot walls helps it pick people up reliably.
Dust, Heat And Where To Mount It
Red dust gets into anything that is not sealed. Check the IP rating: the first number is protection against dust, the second against water. For outdoors in Alice Springs, pick a fitting rated for both.
Mount it high enough to cover the area and be out of easy reach, under an eave where you can, and on a circuit with its own switch so it can be overridden. We work out the mounting spot and the wiring as part of the quote.
Where People Put Them
Driveways and carports, back doors and side paths, sheds and yards, and the front of a shop or workshop after hours. For a business or a bigger site, sensor lighting pairs well with CCTV: the light comes on and the camera gets a clear picture.

Questions Alice Springs customers ask
Which sensor light suits outside in Alice Springs?
An LED floodlight with a motion sensor and an IP rating for dust and water, mounted to look across the path people walk. We supply and install Voltex sensor lights and floodlights.
Why does my sensor light not pick people up on hot nights?
Most sensors detect body heat against the background. When the background is nearly as warm as a person, they can be less sensitive. Aiming the sensor across the approach and away from heat sources helps.
Can a sensor light be switched on manually?
Yes, if it is wired with its own switch. We set that up so you can override the sensor when you need the light on.
Do I need an electrician to install a sensor light?
Yes. Installing a fixed light is electrical work and in the NT must be done by a licensed electrician.
