THEBEN theLuxa R180 WH Motion Detector for Wall Mounting, Light Control, 180°, White

In a warehouse aisle or a residential driveway, the theLuxa R180 WH keeps lights off until someone actually needs them. Mounted on a wall at 1.8 to 2.5 metres, its 180° passive infrared lens picks up movement across a 12-metre radius, switching on connected lighting instantly. The white, UV-stabilised polycarbonate housing blends into most facades while standing up to weather, and the built-in twilight sensor ensures activation only when ambient light falls below your chosen level.

Why choose it

You get a robust, energy-saving motion detector that handles high inrush loads without extra contactors. The wide 180° coverage reduces the number of units needed per area, while the adjustable time and lux settings let you fine-tune behaviour for corridors, entrances, or outdoor spaces. IP55 protection means rain and dust won't stop it, and the relay output works with almost any lighting type.

Ideal use cases

• Outdoor wall lighting for homes, garages, and driveways
• Commercial entrances and loading areas
• Stairwells and corridors in apartment buildings
• Security lighting that deters intruders
• Energy-saving retrofit projects

Good to know

Installation is straightforward with standard 230 V wiring. The manual override via an external push button lets occupants keep lights on when needed. The detector is designed for wall mounting only, not ceiling installation. For best coverage, mount at 2.5 m height and avoid pointing the lens at reflective surfaces or heat sources.
