PIR stands for Passive Infrared. PIR sensors detect infrared radiation emitted by warm objects, such as people. When someone enters the sensor's field of view, it detects the change in infrared radiation and triggers the light to turn on. PIR sensors are commonly used in security lighting and energy-saving applications.
