OCCUPANCY SENSOR WHT. – Product Description
🔌 What it is
A wall-mounted occupancy sensor switch in white finish used to automatically control lighting based on motion detection.
🧾 What the shorthand means
-
OCCUPANCY SENSOR → motion-activated switch that turns lights ON when someone is present and OFF after a delay
-
WHT. → white color finish (standard decorator-style wall device)
⚡ What it does
This device:
- Detects motion (usually via PIR or dual-technology sensors)
- Turns lighting ON automatically when a room is occupied
- Turns lighting OFF after no motion is detected for a set time
- Replaces a standard wall switch
Typical electrical rating examples:
- 120V residential versions
- 15A or 20A load capacity depending on model
- Some versions require a neutral wire for power
🏠 Common uses
- Bathrooms
- Hallways
- Closets
- Laundry rooms
- Garages

🧠 Simple explanation
This is a white motion-sensing light switch that automatically turns lights on when you enter a room and off when you leave.
🔧 Key takeaway
- It is an electrical switch device, not wiring or a panel part
- “WHT” only refers to color (white finish)
- Comes in multiple styles (PIR, dual-tech, vacancy vs occupancy mode)
