Lighting control specialists Ex-Or has introduced BattenFit sensors, which can deliver energy savings of up to 50%. The product offers advanced occupancy detection technology in a package that is quick and easy to fit to a battenstyle luminaire.

Key applications that can benefit from the product's energy savings include storage cupboards, stock rooms and any space where there is the possibility of lights being inadvertently left on for extended periods when not required.

The range of sensors employs PIR detection technology to monitor occupancy of the area served by the lighting batten and delivers light only when it is needed. The simplest BattenFit device automatically switches the light on when someone enters an area and switches the light off again when the area is vacated.

More sophisticated variants provide the same reliable presence detection and additionally monitor levels of natural light to further eliminate unnecessary use of energy. At the top of the range, for example, DSI and DALI-compatible detectors are capable of maintaining constant light levels by adjusting a luminaire’s output in concert with available natural light. There are also IP65 versions available.
