TP-MS1200 Microwave Sensor Tri-Proof 36W

What is the TP-MS1200 Microwave Sensor Tri-Proof 36W and where is it specified?

At XHLWX (led-project-light.com), a Custom Indoor LED Lighting Manufacturer based in China, we present the TP-MS1200: a highly durable and intelligent 1.2-meter LED luminaire designed for efficiency and resilience. This 36W tri-proof light is engineered for service areas, industrial spaces, and commercial back-of-house zones where reliability and energy conservation are paramount. Its defining feature is a built-in 5.8GHz microwave motion and daylight sensor, which automates lighting control for significant energy savings of up to 70% in low-occupancy areas. The robust IP65 and IK08 ratings ensure protection against dust, water jets, and impacts, making it a fit-and-forget solution for challenging environments. With a high-efficacy output of over 110 lumens per watt and a 5-year warranty, the TP-MS1200 is specified by contractors and facility managers across the EU and US for car parks, workshops, plant rooms, and circulation corridors requiring dependable, automated illumination.

Which spaces is it designed for?

The TP-MS1200 excels in environments where lighting is necessary for safety and function but where occupancy is intermittent, making automated control essential for energy management.

How can this luminaire reduce energy costs in service areas?

The integrated microwave sensor is the core of its efficiency. In a hotel back-of-house corridor, a hospital stairwell, or a warehouse aisle, the luminaire operates at a low standby level (e.g., 30% brightness) or can be set to turn completely off. Upon detecting movement up to 8 meters away, it instantly ramps up to 100% output (4000 lumens). After a pre-set hold time (adjustable from 5 seconds to 30 minutes), it returns to the standby state. This intelligent 100%/30%/off (or 100%/on/off) scheduling ensures light is only delivered when and where it's needed, drastically cutting electricity consumption compared to constantly-on fixtures.

Is it durable enough for parking garages and workshops?

Absolutely. The "tri-proof" designation refers to its water-proof, dust-proof, and corrosion-proof characteristics. The IP65 rating confirms it is sealed against dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction, typical of cleaning operations in parking structures or workshops. Furthermore, the IK08 polycarbonate housing is robust enough to resist impacts of up to 5 joules, protecting it from accidental knocks from vehicles, equipment, or tools. This combination of ratings ensures a long service life of 50,000 hours (L70) even in harsh, semi-exposed locations.

What makes it suitable for food preparation and cold storage?

For ancillary food preparation zones or cold storage facilities, hygiene and performance in low temperatures are key. The TP-MS1200's smooth polycarbonate body is easy to wipe down and has no crevices where dust and bacteria can accumulate, supporting HACCP principles. Its IP65 seal prevents moisture ingress, which is crucial in both wash-down areas and humid cold stores. The electronic components are rated to operate reliably in temperatures as low as -20°C, ensuring instant-on performance without the warm-up time associated with older fluorescent technologies, making it an ideal upgrade for walk-in freezers and refrigerated storage areas.

Installation, control and compliance (DALI-2 / Casambi / 0-10V, CE / RoHS / ErP)

Installation is straightforward via surface-mount clips or suspension kits (sold separately), allowing for flexible placement on ceilings or walls. The luminaire's primary control is the integrated microwave sensor, which is highly configurable.

Using simple DIP switches on the sensor module, installers can set:

• Detection Range: Adjust the sensitivity to cover areas from 2 to 8 meters.
• Hold Time: Set how long the light remains at 100% after motion ceases (5s to 30min).
• Daylight Threshold: A built-in photocell allows the sensor to be disabled when ambient light levels are sufficient (adjustable from 3 to 2000 lux), adding another layer of energy savings.
• Standby Level: Choose between 0% (off), 10%, 20%, or 30% light output during periods of inactivity.

While this model is a stand-alone sensor-integrated solution, we can manufacture versions of the tri-proof family with DALI-2, 0-10V, or Casambi Bluetooth mesh control for projects requiring networked management. All versions are fully compliant with European Union directives, carrying CE marking and adhering to RoHS and ErP standards for safety and eco-design.

Customisation, MOQ and lead time

While the TP-MS1200 is a standard product, we understand the needs of specifiers and contractors for project-specific solutions. The standard offering is 36W in a 1200mm body with a 5000K CCT. Customisation options include:

• Colour Temperature (CCT): Warm White (2700K/3000K), Neutral White (4000K), or Cool White (6000K/6500K).
• Emergency Function: Integration of a 3-hour emergency battery pack for compliance with safety lighting regulations.
• Wattage & Length: Different length (e.g., 600mm, 1500mm) and wattage configurations are available across the TP series.
• CRI: High CRI (Ra > 90) versions for spaces where colour accuracy is more critical.

The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for the standard TP-MS1200 model is 100 units. For customized versions, the MOQ may be higher, typically starting at 200 units. Standard production lead time is 20-25 working days from order confirmation, with sea or air freight options available to the EU, US, and Middle East.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the microwave sensor differ from a PIR sensor?

A: The 5.8GHz microwave sensor can detect motion through non-metallic materials like plastic diffusers, thin wood, or glass, offering greater sensitivity and placement flexibility. Unlike a PIR sensor, which requires a line of sight to detect heat signatures, this HF sensor can be completely enclosed within the IP65-rated housing, protecting it from vandalism and the elements while ensuring reliable detection over a range of 6-8 meters.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and can I get a sample?

A: The MOQ for a standard factory order is 100 units. However, we support our specification partners with a flexible sampling policy. We can typically provide 1-2 units for project evaluation and mock-ups. Please contact our sales team to discuss your project requirements and we can arrange for sample delivery to your office or job site within 7-10 working days.

Q: Is the 5000K colour temperature adjustable on-site?

A: No, the CCT is fixed at the time of manufacture. The standard model is 5000K. If your project requires a different CCT, such as 3000K for a hotel corridor or 4000K for a workshop, you must specify this when ordering. We offer a full range from 2700K to 6500K with a 3-step MacAdam ellipse tolerance for excellent fixture-to-fixture colour consistency.

Q: What does the 5-year warranty cover?

A: The 5-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. This includes the LED light source maintaining at least 70% of its initial lumen output (L70) after 50,000 hours of operation, the performance of the integrated driver and sensor module, and the physical integrity of the PC housing (excluding cosmetic damage from abuse). Should a fixture fail within the warranty period under normal operating conditions, we will provide a replacement unit.
