Vacancy sensors assume that a user will turn the lights on manually, typically via a wall switch. The vacancy sensor will then monitor the space to turn lights off if the space is then vacant for a specified length of time. Occupants in daylit spaces often need no additional electric lighting to perform basic tasks.
