AJ Long Electric installs motion sensor lighting systems throughout Northern Virginia homes in Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Arlington, McLean, and the DC metro area. Our installations range from simple motion-sensing flood lights for driveways and backyards to sophisticated occupancy sensor switches for hallways, closets, garages, and laundry rooms. We use adjustable sensors with customizable detection range, sensitivity, time delay, and daylight cutoff so lights activate only when needed. For outdoor security, we install commercial-grade LED motion flood lights from RAB Lighting and Lithonia that provide broad coverage with minimal false triggers from animals or passing traffic. For interior use, we install occupancy and vacancy sensor switches from Lutron and Leviton that automatically turn lights on when you enter and off after you leave, saving energy in rooms where lights are frequently left on.
