Qme Mini Recessed PIR Motion Sensor Light Switch 360° 800W
Mini Recessed PIR Motion Sensor Light Switch – 360° Ceiling Mount
Upgrade your home automation with the Qme Mini Recessed PIR Motion Sensor Light Switch — a compact, ceiling-mounted occupancy detector that automatically controls your lighting based on movement. Featuring a full 360° detection angle, IP20 rating, and adjustable sensitivity dip switches, this smart sensor blends seamlessly into any ceiling for a clean, recessed look.
Key Features
- 360° Detection Coverage: Mounted flush in the ceiling, the PIR sensor scans a full 360° radius for reliable occupancy detection across the entire room.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Built-in dip switches let you fine-tune detection sensitivity — lower sensitivity when set to ON (ideal for human movement), higher sensitivity when set to OFF (can detect subtle motion such as air currents).
- Adjustable Time Delay: Additional dip switches control how long the light stays on after motion is no longer detected, letting you customise the on-time to suit any room.
- Day & Night Operation: When the light mode switch is set to OFF, the sensor operates both during the day and at night, giving you full 24/7 automation flexibility.
- High Load Capacity – 800W: Supports lighting loads up to 800W, making it compatible with a wide range of bulb types and fixtures.
- Long Detection Range – 6 Metres: Detects movement from up to 6 metres away, making it suitable for corridors, bathrooms, offices, utility rooms, and more.
- IP20 Rated: Designed for indoor use with IP20 protection against solid particle ingress.
- Compact & Recessed Design: The mini form factor fits neatly into a standard ceiling cutout for a tidy, professional finish.

Energy Efficiency & Smart Lighting
Automatic occupancy-based lighting is one of the simplest ways to reduce household energy consumption. By ensuring lights are only on when a space is occupied, motion sensor switches can help lower electricity usage significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Qme Mini Recessed PIR Motion Sensor Light Switch and how does it work?
A: The Qme Mini Recessed PIR Motion Sensor is a ceiling-mounted occupancy sensor that automatically switches lights on when it detects movement within its 360° detection zone (up to 6 metres). When no movement is detected for a set period, it automatically switches the lights off — saving energy and adding convenience to any room.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity and time delay on the PIR sensor?
A: The sensor features built-in dip switches that allow you to customise both the detection sensitivity and the light time delay. The 2nd dip switch controls sensitivity — set to ON for low sensitivity (best for human movement only), or OFF for high sensitivity (which can also detect subtle movement like air currents). The remaining dip switches control how long the light stays on after motion stops.
Q: Does the PIR motion sensor work during the day as well as at night?
A: Yes! When the light mode is set to OFF, the sensor will activate your lights both during the day and at night, giving you around-the-clock automated lighting. This is ideal for windowless rooms such as bathrooms or utility areas.
Q: What type of lighting can I use with this motion sensor switch?
A: This PIR sensor supports lighting loads up to 800W, making it compatible with a wide range of bulb types. Always check the wattage of your connected fixtures does not exceed the 800W maximum to ensure safe operation.
Q: Is professional installation required for this recessed ceiling sensor?
A: As this product involves wiring into your mains electrical system, installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical regulations.
