Product Information
Full details
The Forum Lighting Thea Recessed Microwave Motion Sensor is designed for homeowners and commercial installers seeking reliable, invisible occupancy detection for interior lighting systems. Its primary benefit is the 360-degree microwave detection technology that senses movement through non-metallic building materials, providing seamless automation; however, users should be aware that microwave sensors are highly sensitive and may detect motion through thin walls or doors if not properly adjusted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard 62mm diameter cut-out in your ceiling. Since this unit operates on mains voltage, it should be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. When installing, verify that the placement does not lead to 'false triggering' from adjacent rooms. To care for the sensor, ensure the surface remains free of dust accumulation by gently wiping it with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid using water or chemical cleaners that could seep into the electronics.
