WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE WITH LIGHTING CONTROLS AND
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
🧬 Smarter Motion Detection Starts Here
👀 Wait... Why do we need two motion detection technologies?
Motion detection is the brain of any intelligent lighting system. But let’s face it — no single tech is perfect.
Microwave (HF)? Super sensitive, even picks up subtle movements.
PIR (Passive Infrared)? Focused and heat-aware.
Each has perks — and quirks.
So… why not just use both?
💡 Enter Dual-Sense™
Hytronik’s Dual-Sense™ blends Microwave and PIR sensing into one cohesive solution. You can even choose which one (or both) to use — either manually or automatically.
Result? Smarter, more adaptable detection across all spaces.
From open-plan offices to echo-heavy stairwells, your lights won’t turn on too easily — or worse, not at all.
📡 HF (Microwave) Detection: The ultra-sensitive, long-range option
- ✅ Picks up even small gestures
- ✅ Doesn’t require openings in fixtures
- ✅ Great coverage thanks to wave reflection
- ❌ May detect through walls (yikes)
- ❌ False triggers from fans, elevators, or back-wave reflections
👁️ PIR Detection: The focused, privacy-friendly classic
- ✅ Accurate for body heat detection
- ✅ Stable — not affected by fans or AC
- ✅ Ideal for personal or defined zones
- ❌ Needs direct line-of-sight
- ❌ Might miss slow or non-thermal motion
🧠 So… Which One Should You Use?
Here’s the good news — you don’t have to choose just one.
Dual-Sense™ gives you 4 switchable detection modes:
- HF only – Super sensitive mode
- PIR only – High precision, privacy-focused
- Either – Triggered by either sensor = max responsiveness
- Both – Triggered by both sensors = max accuracy
🛠️ Real Talk: Why It Matters
Installers and building managers, rejoice. Dual-Sense™ means:
- 🔧 Fewer callbacks from annoyed users
- ⏱️ Faster commissioning (especially in complex spaces)
- 🎛️ Flexibility to adapt with DIP switches or software
🚀 Where It Shines
- Glass-walled offices where PIR struggles
- Industrial spaces where HF overreacts
- Multi-use zones where you need a balance of sensitivity & precision
Dual-Sense™ adapts. Smartly. Instantly. Reliably.
