How to Use Motion Sensor Cabinet Lights
Correctly Motion sensor cabinet lights have become a popular choice for kitchen lighting due to their intelligent and convenient features. Here is a detailed guide on how to use motion sensor cabinet lights correctly, covering key aspects such as installation, operation, maintenance, etc.: I. Preparation Before Installation 1. Confirm Product Accessories and Functions Common accessories: light body, sensing module (infrared/body sensing, hand sweep sensing, etc.), power adapter, mounting bracket, screws/magnet strips, instruction manual. Function check: test the sensitivity of the sensor (e.g., hand sweep sensing distance, body sensing angle), brightness of the light (whether it can be adjusted), battery life (for battery-powered models), etc. 2. Choose the Installation Location Priority areas: bottom of hanging cabinets (illuminating the worktop), inside of floor cabinets (convenient for taking items out), shelves of high cabinets (layered lighting), inside of drawers (turning on when opened). Avoid water and smoke: avoid direct installation above the sink or directly above the gas stove to prevent water vapor and oil stains from affecting the lifespan of the sensing module. 3. Determine Power Supply Method Plug-in model: need to reserve a socket in advance, suitable for long-term power-on scenarios without frequent charging. Charging battery model: no wiring required, suitable for areas without sockets, but need regular charging (it is recommended to choose a model with a battery life ≥ 3 months). Magnetically charged model: charge through a magnetic base, more flexible installation, can be taken off for charging at any time. II. Installation Steps (Taking magnetically attached type as an example) Clean the installation surface Wipe the bottom or interior of the cabinet with alcohol swabs to ensure no dust or oil stains, avoiding affecting the adhesive properties of the magnetic strip. Fix the magnetic base Peel off the back glue of the base and stick it in place (it is recommended to mark the position on paper first to ensure levelness). If it is a wooden cabinet body, you can drill holes and fix it with screws (suitable for scenes with high load requirements). Install the light body Align the light body with the magnetic base and gently attach it to ensure stability. Connect the power supply (plug-in model) Insert the power adapter into the socket and connect the other end to the interface of the light body to test if the power is normal. III. Operation and Usage Tips 1. Using Sensing Modes Body sensing (infrared sensing): The light turns on automatically when approaching the cabinet within about 30-50 cm and turns off after 30-60 seconds (customizable) when leaving. Suitable for frequently opening and closing cabinet bodies, such as taking and placing tableware. Hand sweep sensing (wave control): Wave your hand in the sensing area to turn on/off the light without contact, suitable for using with oily or wet hands (such as cooking operations). Door control sensing (magnetic control switch): Installed inside the cabinet door, the light turns on when the door is opened and off when closed. Suitable for drawers and enclosed cabinet bodies. 2. Brightness and Mode Adjustment Touch dimming: short press the touch key on the light body to switch brightness (low/medium/high), long press to adjust color temperature (warm/white/neutral light). Memory function: some high-end models can remember the last used brightness and color temperature and restore them automatically when turned on next time. 3. Energy-saving Settings Timer function: some products support automatic shutdown after a set period (e.g., turning off automatically after 30 minutes) to avoid wasting electricity by forgetting to turn off the lights. Sleep mode: automatically enter low-power consumption state when there is no induction for a long time (e.g., automatically switching to low-light mode at night).
