Night Sensor Light STEINEL NightMatic 2000 Black

The STEINEL NightMatic 2000 Black is an outdoor night sensor light that automatically switches lighting on or off according to ambient light. Designed for exterior use, it supports loads up to 1000 W and connects to mains with an input current of 230–240 A. The unit is compact (74 × 37 × 99 mm), rated IP54 for dust and splash protection and operates in temperatures from -20 °C to 50 °C. The light-level threshold at which the sensor activates is adjustable by the user, allowing control over when the connected light comes on.

Advantages

The NightMatic 2000 provides automatic dusk-to-dawn switching without manual intervention, reducing the need to go outside to turn lights on. Its IP54 rating ensures reliable operation in rain or snow, and the wide operating temperature range supports year-round outdoor use. Compact dimensions make installation in tight locations simple, while the adjustable trigger threshold lets you set the desired sensitivity to ambient light.

Suitable for

How to use

Install the NightMatic 2000 according to local electrical regulations and the product’s mounting instructions, connecting it to the mains and to the load (lamp) you want to control. Set the light-level threshold to the preferred sensitivity so the sensor switches the light on at the desired dusk level and off when ambient light returns. Ensure the sensor has a clear view of ambient light and is positioned away from direct artificial light sources that could prevent correct operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, mount the sensor where it receives representative ambient light (not directly under lamps or in shadowed corners). Verify connections and settings after installation and periodically check the unit for damage or ingress to maintain IP54 protection.
