What do sensors cost?
As a budget, a basic presence sensor costs about £40–£80 installed, a daylight sensor £60–£120, and DALI control around £50–£150 per luminaire on top of the fitting, excluding VAT.

Controls save energy only when they reduce output or hours. In meeting rooms, toilets, stores and aisles that are often empty, the saving can be large; in a busy open-plan office less so.
