MK Electric, the UK’s leading manufacturer of wiring devices and
accessories, has introduced a comprehensive range of innovative lighting
controls – MK Sensors – designed to deliver energy savings and lighting
usage management in a wide range of commercial applications. Lighting
represents, on average, up to 40% of a building’s total energy consumption;
and also the largest opportunity for energy savings.
MK Sensors not only help realise the highest potential savings in energy
consumption, and thus to energy bills; but also offer the shortest payback
periods when compared to means such as diffuser replacement and lamp
type changes.
The MK Sensor range deploys three main types of sensor technology –
namely PIR, Microwave and Ultrasonic – in a variety of devices configured
for ceiling or corner mounting; as well as long range detection.
All products in the MK Sensors range have a built-in photocell, providing
occupancy and light level detection. The range is also complemented by a
host of accessories and ancillaries – such as programmers and controllers
– which combine to make the collection easy to install, easy to understand
and easy to use.
Awareness of environmental issues and the need to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions has increased considerably in recent years. With various
government targets in mind, and the ever-growing issues and concerns
around energy consumption, the environment and sustainability; it is now
essential that contractors, specifiers and building managers alike appreciate
the effect lighting sensors can have on the efficiency and environmental
impact of buildings.
Ceiling mounted sensors comprise a choice of Standard PIR, Superior PIR
and Microwave Detectors.
