Cucumber Lighting Controls

Microwave motion detectors 

Microwave motion detectors, also known as radar or HF sensors, are widely used in lighting control for their high sensitivity and extended range over PIR sensors. They emit low-power radio waves and detect reflections from moving objects. However, frequency selection is crucial, as microwave sensors can suffer interference. C band (5.8GHz) overlaps with Wi-Fi, causing unreliable detection and erratic lighting. X band (8–12GHz) is better but still affected. Only K band (24GHz) avoids Wi-Fi disruptions, ensuring stable operation. To prevent interference and maintain performance, choose the correct frequency for your microwave motion detectors by speaking with Cucumber Lighting Controls.
