At 230 V, this is not the method used for a spotlight with a sensor: wire in parallel, with each spotlight tapped onto the line.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does a recessed spotlight with a built-in motion sensor need a switch?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No: the built-in sensor triggers the light on movement, then the timer switches the spotlight off. A switch is still useful upstream to cut the power during maintenance or to disable detection for a while, but it is not used for everyday switching on.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Recessed LED spotlight with motion sensor: what does the LED source change?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The LED source leaves more choice of colour temperature, from warm white to neutral white, and allows flatter housings than a halogen of the same use. The sensor works the same way: it detects movement, triggers the light, then a timer switches the spotlight off.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can a recessed outdoor motion sensor spotlight be installed under a canopy?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, provided you choose a model whose ingress protection rating matches the humidity of the area and aim the sensor toward the walkway, not toward the street or vegetation. Under a canopy, the spotlight stays sheltered from direct rain while lighting the arrival.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which recessed ceiling motion sensor spotlight for a narrow hallway?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In a narrow hallway, choose a model whose detection covers the width of the passage and place it near the hallway entrance, away from the walls, so the sensor sees you coming. One well-placed point is better than several points that trigger together.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Recessed solar motion sensor spotlight: how to use it without wiring?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The panel recharges the energy reserve during the day and the sensor triggers the light at dusk or on movement, depending on the model. It therefore needs an area genuinely exposed to the sun: in the shade of a wall or tree, the reserve does not recharge.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to avoid unnecessary triggering of a recessed motion sensor spotlight?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Aim the sensor toward the walking area and lower the sensitivity if the room is small.
