Ceiling Mount Motion Sensors

Rayzeek ceiling mount motion sensors provide overhead detection for indoor lighting control in offices, corridors, classrooms, utility rooms, restrooms, and shared spaces. Choose line-voltage, low-voltage, and wireless-kit options based on mounting height, circuit type, load rating, and coverage needs.

Overhead Detection for Broader Coverage

Ceiling placement helps cover spaces where wall-switch sensing may miss movement. Use ceiling mount sensors for rooms, corridors, and shared areas where detection should come from above the occupied zone.

For current ceiling sensor recommendations, promote RZ036 and RZ037 before legacy BS036.

Line-Voltage and Low-Voltage Choices

Line-voltage ceiling sensors fit mains-powered lighting circuits, while 12V/24V versions support low-voltage control projects. Wireless kits can pair ceiling sensing with a companion wall control where the layout requires it.

Select by circuit type first, then by load rating and detection coverage.

Ceiling Mount Sensor Applications

Offices and Classrooms

Use overhead sensing for offices, classrooms, meeting rooms, and other spaces where room activity is best detected from the ceiling.

Corridors and Restrooms

Support automatic shutoff in corridors, restrooms, utility areas, and support spaces with intermittent use.

Low-Voltage Lighting Projects

Use 12V/24V ceiling sensor options where the lighting control system is built around low-voltage DC power.

What is a ceiling mount motion sensor?

A ceiling mount motion sensor is an overhead sensor that detects movement from the ceiling and controls lighting according to occupancy or vacancy conditions. It is useful where wall-switch sensing does not provide the best coverage.

When should I use RZ036 or RZ037?

Use RZ036 and RZ037 as the main current ceiling sensor families. Choose between line-voltage and 12V/24V options based on the lighting circuit and project requirements.

Is BS036 a main ceiling sensor option?

BS036 should be treated as a legacy or secondary ceiling PIR sensor. For main ceiling mount recommendations, use RZ036 and RZ037 first.

Where can ceiling mount motion sensors be used indoors?

Common indoor uses include offices, classrooms, conference rooms, restrooms, corridors, utility rooms, kitchens, and shared support areas.

What is the difference between line voltage and low voltage ceiling sensors?

Line voltage ceiling sensors control mains-powered lighting circuits. Low voltage ceiling sensors are used with compatible 12V/24V control systems or low-voltage lighting projects.

Can ceiling mount motion sensors save energy?

Yes. They help reduce lighting runtime by keeping lights on only while spaces are in use and turning them off after inactivity.
