Four Most Popular Wall Lamps with PIR for Outdoors

When people install lights outdoors, they don't do it in the same way as indoors; first of all, the light fittings need to be IP rated, that is, suitable for outdoors. Another principle is the location - according to WHERE you put the lamp, you need to get a different style / type.

One such feature people look for in an outdoor lamp is whether a fitting has a PIR or not. The presence detector helps you save energy since it turns the light on for a pre-determined time only if the presence of people is detected. Below we compiled a list of four most popular wall lamps for outdoors - with a PIR included.

The 9011PIRW White Outdoor wall lantern with PIR

This is a white wall mounted lamp with a passive infrared sensor - a traditional style outdoor wall uplight with PIR.

The BH24BPIR White 24W Energy Saving Bulkhead with PIR

This rectangular shape fitting for outdoor wall mounting is IP44 rated and it comes with a 8m detection PIR (low energy consumption lamp).

The BHPIR Black Wall Bulkhead with PIR

This fitting comes in a black finish, is IP44 rated, and is a great outdoor wall lamp with presence detection integrated.
