MOTION-ACTIVATED DOME LAMP
The 61F61 Infrared Dome Lamp sensors detect the human-heat signature to activate the lamp when a person is within 6 feet of it. The lamp has a sealed-sensor design that blocks moisture from refrigerated and humid environments, the company says. Shifting loads and falling objects do not activate the sensor, the company says, and no power is drawn unless there is a person detected. The 61F61 has a replaceable, acrylic lens encased in aluminum housing and has a self-resetting internal cut-off switch to protect against excessive current.
