The strips are low-profile, easy-to-install, rugged, bright, versatile and can even be cut-to-length. The LEDs are a 5050 SMD type and sealed in a clear silicone to protect them. The LED strip used in these kits run directly from 12V, are flexible, waterproof and include double-sided adhesive tape for easy mounting. If you need to mount the battery-pack we include double-sided tape on it for that purpose. Being powered from batteries also makes the unit wireless and mobile, allowing it to be used in areas where access to power is difficult. However, if you expect the light to be on often, as mentioned earlier the standard 20” strip can still run continuously for 30+ hours. The 8AA battery-pack produces 12V and is able to run for years without changing or recharging the batteries as the motion switch shuts off the light after 10-seconds, helping to preserve battery life. When the motion sensor is activated it draws power from 8AA batteries inside a plastic case battery-pack that has 2-wire leads and an on/off switch the on/off switch needs to be set on for the module to work. The module itself is compact, light, has terminal connections for wire leads and has mounting holes in each corner for easily installation it also can be mounted using double-stick tape. The light will stay lit as long as there is motion, however after 10-seconds of no motion the light will turn off. How it works is the sensor detects a difference in IR light radiating within its field of view (5-8 meters) and sends a signal to turn on the light.

This makes it convenient when lighting areas like a closet, where you only need light for a short period of time, but don’t really want to flip-a-switch or keep track of a remote control. Using a Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) this LED strip module only runs when it senses movement. But first, lets look at the main components that make-up this module and then look closer at all its benefits, features and applications. Since it’s wireless, super-bright, battery-powered, custom, inexpensive and activated by motion there are literally tons of lighting applications to consider.
Battery led strip lights with sensor plus#
Take for example our new LED Motion Sensor Strip Light, with just a 20″ section and a 8AA battery-pack, this motion activated light boasts as much light as a 40-Watt incandescent bulb plus it can run over 30+ hours before needing to be recharged. I work with LED lighting everyday and am still continually amazed at the sheer amount of lumens LEDs can emit.
