      • Compatible with our Tuya Smart stair controllers: ideal for automatic switching and lighting scenarios on steps, corridors, and passageways.
      • Directional laser sensor (±10°): precise, “targeted” detection reduces false triggers compared to wider sensors.
      • Detection distance 0.05–2.5 m: perfect for close installations as well as indoor corridors/walkways.
      • Auto-set distance at power-on: if the front area is clear it automatically sets 2.5 m; if there is an obstacle (e.g., a wall) it sets the distance up to the obstacle.
      • 5 selectable delay times: 2 / 5 / 10 / 30 / 60 seconds (default 2s).
      • Delay setting with long press: within 60s of power-on, hold SET for 2 seconds to cycle through times.
      • Stable digital output (HIGH = ON / LOW = OFF): when it detects a person/object it sends a high signal to trigger the lighting controller.
      • 3-wire connection: + (Power input+) / S (signal 3.3–4 V) / – (Power input–), low-voltage 5VDC supply.
      • Recommended stair installation: mount the sensor at least 8 cm from the tread and as far as possible from the riser.
      • Compact and ready to mount: diameter 32 mm, depth ~17.5 mm, 120 cm cable with connector.

      Motion sensor - laser detection and digital output for LED controller

      If you are creating an automatic lighting system (stairs, corridors, passages, step lights or decorative wall lights), the EL-C is the sensor head that really makes the difference: it works with 5V input/output , uses laser technology for more precise and directional detection, and sends a HIGH/LOW (TTL) digital output to the LED controller/control unit that manages strips and light points. It is compact ( 32x32x17.5 mm ), connects with a 3-wire connector (+5V, Signal, GND) and allows you to customize the system's response thanks to the adjustable distance 0.05–2.5 m (automatic on switch-on or via button) and the delay times 2/5/10/30/60 s . In practice: when you approach or cross the beam, the control unit receives the command and activates the lights in a clean and controlled way. It works with many commercially available controllers/control units compatible with a 5V digital input and is also perfect with our Tuya smart stairwell controllers . If you want a tidy, reliable, and "professional" installation, this is the right sensor: complete your automatic lighting system.

      Automatic switch-on for lights

      This laser motion sensor is ideal when you need precise, directional lighting: as soon as a person (or object) passes in front of the sensor head, the sensor sends a digital signal to the LED controller/control unit to turn the light on. It's perfect for creating subtle, dramatic passage lights (such as floor step lights, light beams on walls/wood paneling, or interior lighting for furniture), avoiding unnecessary switching thanks to the narrow detection angle.

      SET button: detection setting

      The SET button allows you to set the sensor's detection distance in the range 0.05–2.5 m and to choose between Automatic and Manual mode. In AUTO (factory mode) the distance is measured and set every time the power is turned on and is not stored: if there are no obstacles in front of the sensor, it sets up to 2.5 m , while if it detects an obstacle (e.g. a wall) it sets the distance up to the obstacle. Within 60 seconds of turning on you can also press SET to take a temporary quick measurement (not saved). In MANUAL mode the distance is saved : after turning on, double-click SET to enter manual mode (the output LED flashes 3 times ), then press briefly to complete the measurement (about 2 seconds ) and store it (LED flashes 1 time); a double-click again returns to AUTO mode (LED flashes 2 times ). During the measurement, avoid standing in front of the sensor or covering its front part.

      Compatibility with control units/controllers

      This sensor does not work alone : to turn on the lights it must be connected to a LED control unit/controller , and it is compatible with many control units on the market that manage 5V digital (TTL) sensor inputs, as well as with our Tuya smart controllers for stair lighting . The connection is made via a 3-pin (3-wire) plug-in connector : one wire carries the +5V DC power supply, one is the signal (S) that sends a high/low level to the control unit when it detects passage, and the last is the ground/negative (GND/–) ; in practice, when the sensor detects a person or object in front of it, it sends the command to the control unit which activates the connected LED strip or lighting.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      No. The EL-C is a sensor head: to turn on the lights it must be connected to a compatible LED control unit/controller that receives the signal and manages the lighting.

      It is compatible with many commercial control units that support a 5V digital sensor input (TTL) and with our Tuya smart controllers for staircase lighting.

      It has a 3-wire (3-pin) connector: +5V, Signal (S), and GND/–. The signal is digital: when it detects, it sends a high level to the controller (and a low level when it does not detect).

      The detection distance is adjustable from 0.05m to 2.5m with a narrow angle of about ±10°, so it is very directional (great for passages, corridors and stairs).

      Yes. You can select one of the delay times: 2 / 5 / 10 / 30 / 60 seconds, so the light stays on for the most comfortable amount of time after passing through.

      No, it is IP20, therefore designed for indoor environments or protected installations (protected from rain and humidity).

      Standard deliveries to Italy generally take 24-48 hours from the time the package leaves the warehouse.
