Wall-mounted MACLEAN motion and dusk sensor MCE25 W 180° detection, 1200W, white

Wall-mounted MACLEAN motion and dusk sensor MCE25 W is a combined presence and light-level detector designed for automatic control of lighting circuits. The device features a 180° horizontal detection angle and supports a maximum resistive load of 1200 W, allowing it to operate standard incandescent, halogen, or compatible LED fixtures in domestic and sheltered commercial installations. It is intended for wall mounting in corridors, stairwells, garages and entryways where automatic switching on at dusk and presence detection improve convenience and energy efficiency.

Advantages

The sensor integrates motion detection and ambient light measurement in a single compact unit to reduce unwanted switching during daylight. With a wide 180° detection range, it covers approach paths and entry zones from a single mounting point. The device accepts a high maximum load up to 1200 W, which makes it compatible with many conventional lighting loads, and its wall-mounted form factor simplifies installation without requiring recessed fittings. The white finish provides a neutral appearance that fits common interior and sheltered exterior applications.

Suitable for

• Corridors and hallways where automatic lighting is required
• Stairwells and landings to ensure presence-activated illumination
• Garages and carports with sheltered mounting points
• Entryways and porches for dusk-to-dawn and motion-triggered switching

Key specifications

• Detection angle: 180° horizontal coverage
• Maximum load capacity: 1200 W (resistive)
• Sensor functions: combined motion (presence) detection and ambient light (dusk) sensing
• Mounting type: wall-mounted for indoor and sheltered outdoor locations
• Finish: white housing

How to use

Install the sensor on a stable vertical surface at the recommended mounting height and orientation so the 180° detection field covers the intended approach area. Wire the unit into the lighting circuit according to national electrical safety standards and local codes, ensuring power is switched off before installation. Adjust any sensitivity or time-delay settings where available to match the required response and hold time for the space. After power-up, verify that the sensor switches lights on at low ambient light levels and responds to movement within its detection angle.

Usage recommendations

Place the sensor where direct sunlight, nearby heat sources, or reflective surfaces will not cause false triggers. For energy-efficient operation, pair the sensor with compatible lamps and set the ambient light threshold to prevent activation during daytime. Regularly check mounting integrity and clean the sensor face to maintain reliable detection performance.
