An LED Tube That Dims Down When No Motion Detected
The Verbatim LED Motion Sensor Tube is a new energy-saving replacement for 4 Foot 'T8' fluorescent tubes. It's an ideal lighting solution for areas such as underground car parks, back-office areas, corridors and storage rooms.
- Maintains full brightness whenever motion is detected.
- Drops to 20% brightness when no movement has been detected for 60 seconds.
- In-built microwave sensor - more effective than PIR sensors.
- Includes replacement LED starter - so you can install yourself.
- Works in all fitting types, including those with a diffuser!
Save up to $88 per year per fluorescent tube replaced.
An Ideal Solution For Lights Left On 24/7
In the past, motion sensor lighting systems were expensive and complex to install. For example, how do you place sensors that cover all areas of a car park, so people don't accidentally get left in the dark? With convention motion sensor systems, it's very tricky.
This LED sensor tube addresses this issue by including a movement detector in every LED tube. This way, lights are only on at full brightness in occupied areas. Also, they are not vulnerable to a single point of failure and are super easy to install.
Furthermore, when no motion is detected, they do not turn off completely. These LED tubes remain in standby (sensing) mode and still emit 20% of their total light output.
Installation guide - 4 Foot (1200mm) LED Fluro Tube with Sensor
The Verbatim LED Motion Sensor Tube is easy to install in your existing T8 light fixtures. There are two main types of fluorescent light fittings:
1) Magnetic ballast fittings - with starters. These are the most common fitting type. Simply replace the tube and starter (supplied) and you're done! Magnetic ballast fittings are identifiable by the fact they have starters present.
Easy installation for any fitting with a starter.
2) Electronic ballast fittings - no starters. Unlike the example shown above, these fittings do not have a starter. These units will require an electrician to 'wire out' the existing ballast. Fittings without starters that switch on instantly (no flicker) are generally electronic ballast.

Do you sell a shorter length tube with a sensor?
Yes - see also our 600mm LED tube with motion sensor.
Does this LED tube switch off completely when no motion is detected?
No - this LED tube is designed to provide a constant low level of illumination even when no motion is detected. This ensures safe operation in areas like garages, car parks, stairwells, and storage rooms. If you want your lights to turn off completely, please see our stand-alone motion sensors, which act as on/off switches for the light fittings they are wired to.
How do you calculate the quoted energy savings?
Compared to conventional fluorescent tubes, the Verbatim T8 LED Sensor Tube with motion sensor will save nearly 90% of operational energy usage.
Here is a worked example:
- An old T8 fluorescent tube uses 36W plus 9W in the ballast (45W).
- 45W x 24h = 1080 Wh/day (1.08kWh/day).
- A new sensor LED tube uses 18W when on (eg. 1 hour per day) and 4.5W in standby (23 hours per day).
- 18W x 1h + 4.5W x 23h = 121.5 Wh/day (0.12 kWh/day).
- That's an 89% reduction in energy usage and running costs.
