The Lutron LOS-WDT-R-WH is a dual-technology, wall-mount occupancy sensor designed for dependable lighting control in commercial spaces. It combines ultrasonic and Passive Infrared (PIR) sensing to detect motion directly in the room and in areas where line-of-sight may be blocked, helping support accurate occupancy detection in demanding environments.
Ideal Use Cases
This sensor is suited for commercial applications where automatic lighting control is needed in spaces with varied movement patterns. Its wide coverage and dual-tech sensing make it a strong fit for larger rooms and areas where occupants may sit still for periods of time or move behind partitions, furniture, or other obstacles. The white finish also supports a clean, discreet installation on the wall.
Why Choose This Model
The LOS-WDT-R-WH offers dual-technology sensing with self-adaptive logic, giving it the ability to adjust sensitivity and time delay based on room usage patterns. That makes it useful for installations where consistent performance matters and where minimizing false triggers is important. It is designed for 20-24 VDC operation and requires a Lutron Power Pack, which allows it to be used within a standard high-voltage lighting circuit when paired with the appropriate accessory.
Installation and Integration
This model is a wall-mount occupancy sensor with a swivel mount design. It includes an internal isolated relay for integration with HVAC systems, building management systems, or security systems. Adjustable time delays from 8 seconds to 30 minutes provide flexibility during setup, allowing the sensor to be tuned to the requirements of the room. Operating temperature is specified from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
Performance Highlights
Dual-technology sensing combines PIR and ultrasonic detection to improve coverage and responsiveness. The sensor is designed for up to 1,600 square feet of coverage when mounted at the optimal height. Self-adaptive logic automatically adjusts sensitivity and timing as occupancy patterns change, supporting an install-and-forget approach in spaces with recurring use. The internal isolated relay adds versatility for system-level integration beyond lighting control alone.
What Makes It Different
Unlike basic occupancy sensors, this model is built around a dual-tech sensing approach that helps detect both direct movement and activity that may not be easily seen by a single technology. The swivel mount and wall-mount format offer installation flexibility, while the adjustable delay range and internal isolated relay make it more adaptable to commercial environments with multiple control requirements. The need for a Lutron Power Pack is an important part of the installation path, as the sensor is intended to operate within a compatible Lutron system.
Final Assessment
The Lutron LOS-WDT-R-WH is a practical occupancy sensor for commercial lighting control where dependable detection, flexible timing, and integration options are important. With dual-tech sensing, self-adaptive logic, and wall-mount installation, it is positioned for spaces that need accurate automated control and system compatibility. For projects using a Lutron Power Pack and 20-24 VDC sensor infrastructure, it provides a focused and capable solution.
