Motion triggered brightening

Rather than full illumination 24/7, corridors maintain a low standby level (30% or 50 lux) and brighten when motion is detected. This dramatically reduces energy in intermittently used circulation spaces.

Approach Detail

PIR or microwave sensors every 10-15m. Standby level 30-50% (meeting minimum emergency requirements). Motion triggers full brightness in zone plus adjacent zones. 3-5 minute timeout after last motion. Gradual dim-down rather than abrupt off. Override for cleaning schedules.

Key Fixtures

Occupancy sensors (Steinel, Philips, Helvar), sensor-enabled fixtures, DALI network, building automation integration

Designer Notes

Sequence diagram: empty corridor at standby, person enters, light rises smoothly, person passes, light returns to standby. Energy graph showing dramatic savings versus always-on. Invisible automation.

Best For
Low-traffic corridors, after-hours operation, large buildings with varied occupancy, energy reduction initiatives.
