Timeguard SLW2301 PIR & Photocell 2kW Standalone White

The Timeguard SLW2301 Outdoor PIR Photocell Sensor is a reliable motion sensor light controller for homes, gardens, driveways, garages and light commercial properties. It is designed to automatically switch connected lighting on when movement is detected, helping improve outdoor security, visibility and convenience.

This standalone PIR sensor combines movement detection with a built-in photocell, allowing lighting to operate only when it is dark enough. This helps reduce unnecessary daytime switching and can support lower energy use compared with lights that are left on manually.

With a 180° detection angle and a detection range of up to 12 metres at 2.5m mounting height, the SLW2301 is ideal for covering entrances, side paths, driveways, garden areas, sheds, outbuildings and building perimeters. The pan and tilt sensor head allows the detection zone to be adjusted for more accurate coverage.

The adjustable timer lets you choose how long the connected light stays on after motion is detected, from 2 seconds to 15 minutes. The adjustable lux control allows the sensor to respond at the preferred ambient light level, while the dusk-to-dawn photocell mode can keep the load on from dusk until dawn when required. The Timeguard installation instructions also confirm a Lux Learn mode, which allows the PIR to learn the ambient light level at which the load should switch on.

Designed for outdoor use, the SLW2301 has an IP65 rating, offering protection against dust and low-pressure water jets. It is suitable for 2000W halogen, 400W LED, 400W fluorescent and 200W CFL loads, making it suitable for many replacement and new lighting installations.

Finished in white, with push-fit terminals for easier installation, the Timeguard SLW2301 is a practical choice for anyone looking to add automatic control to outdoor lights, security lights or existing floodlights.
