Steinel Infrared Motion Sensor IS 130-2 white, 130° Motion Detector, 12 m Reach, max. 600 W or 4 LED Lights

This is my second purchase of a Steinel product. The previous photocell powered a light which came on at dusk & stayed on till sunrise. It’s been functioning since 2016yr, in that time it’s been faultless. This PIR Steinel was easy to fit and easy to set up - for range, sensitivity and time on. It’s a good design in that the wire entry positions are favourable for wiring ease. Instructions are clear and all fittings one needs are included. I would buy their products again without hesitation.

Expensive but fed up with previous cheaper Screwfix fitting that stayed on all day despite adjustment to sensors. This unit was easy to fit and extremely easy to set up. Really impressed this the auto sensor operation - works very well and worth the extra££

Good solid PIR Early days but seems to be working well. I'm not overly impressed with design although it does look nice when finished. The unit is in 3 pieces. You screw the back half of the main body to the surface through the smaller backing plate. This allows for the lateral movement of the whole body. The PIR detector itself only moves vertically. The front part of the main body hinges inwards from the bottom. You hook it in and then secure it at the top with a single screw. This is my main gripe. You need to leave room above the unit to screw the screw in. This was a pain for me as I wanted to use the existing wiring hole. The fixing screw or preferably screws should be inserted in the front of the unit. At the top or in the sides is stupid. Even using a tiny Wera ratchet with a Phillips bit in it I still had to leave a good 50mm clearance above it. Apart from this, it is a good unit

I installed the sensor 4m from the entrance to my garage and 2m high. The 60w LED is 8m from the sensor. Be aware not to plan to install your cable’s for “back entry “ as you will not be able to install the sensor flush to the wall. I used 2.5mm cable designed for outside use. It was difficult to get the cables through the bottom knock outs but achievable. If using junction boxes I would suggest ones with a high IP rating. Wiska are very good.

I had a PIR that was fitted by a professional electrician some years ago. It went on the blink so that the exterior lights were always on. Thankfully LED, but even so... I read lots of reviews complaining about the bad design on many of the small PIR units. Typically you are tying to wire these up in a tight space at the top of a ladder or other awkward position. I paid the money to get this one as reviews say that it is a breeze to fit. I could not agree more - the wiring and set up were super-easy and it worked first go. There is enough room to get at least one power-in lead and two power-out leads, which is what I did. I saw complaints about the final top screw. I understand the complaint but I made sure that I did not drop the little devil as it was pretty small - probably worth putting a dab of Vaseline on your screwdriver to hold it in place as you fit it - otherwise you'll never see it again. Other than that, a totally recommendable purchase. IP ratings on electrical goods can be a bit hit and miss in my experience. This looks like it is likely to take some weather without getting full of water and spiders!

Space for wiring not much more than cheaper alternatives. Adjustment for day/night does not seem to work.

Working good with others that I have & no problems

Looked for a while before buying this. There seems to be cheap then more pricey. This does exactly as it says. The range is brilliant and comes on from a fair distance. It works on our drive and back towards the front door. Perfect. Set it to come on for as long as suits you. Wired up fairly easy as a replacement for an old one.

J'ai utilisé ce détecteur, comme plusieurs autres dans ma maison, dans la salle de bain pour allumage automatique de la lumière, en remplacement d'un autre modèle de la même marque qui ne fonctionnait plus bien (au bout de + de 10 ans tout de même). Le premier produit livré avait un défaut mais Amazon l'a remplacé sans problème rapidement (c'est la 1ère fois que je retourne un produit) . Globalement je ne me plains pas de Steinel, leur produits sont faciles à poser, esthétiques et fiables. Pour ce qui concerne le modèle IS 130-2 la pose s'est faite facilement ainsi que le câblage, on peut l'orienter de haut en bas et régler la sensibilité d'allumage et le temps (mais les boutons sont vraiment petits) . Le seul petit défaut que je pourrais trouver c'est la vis de verrouillage du capot qui est située sur le dessus. Cela limite la possibilité de fixation sous un plafond car si on le plaque trop haut on ne peut plus atteindre la vis avec un tournevis. J'ai du laisser environ 6 cm et utiliser un tournevis coudé à douille. La vis aurait été mieux placée en dessous (comme sur d'autres modèles Steinel) ou en façade. Ceci étant c'est un excellent produit que je recommande car je pense qu'il durera longtemps comme les autres.

Bra pris och kvalitet.

Der Steinel Bewegungsmelder überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Die Installation ist unkompliziert und die Einstellung funktioniert problemlos. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Zuverlässigkeit: Bewegungen werden sofort erkannt, ohne Fehlalarme, und die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig. Für diesen Preis ein rundum gelungenes Produkt – funktional, robust und sehr empfehlenswert!
