Lutron Motion Sensor Light Switch, 2-Amp Single-Pole — Occupancy/Vacancy, Works with Any Bulb

The Lutron Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Motion Sensor Switch is a single-pole, 2‑amp wall control that automatically turns lights on and off and works with any bulb type.

Designed to simplify everyday lighting and reduce wasted energy, this Maestro sensor switch fits standard wall‑box installations and pairs visually with the Maestro product family. It senses motion to turn lights on when someone enters a room and turns them off after a programmable delay when the room is empty. The switch supports occupancy (auto‑on) and vacancy (manual‑on) modes, accepts a variety of lamp technologies, and can be installed where no neutral wire is available by using ground‑wire connection.

How does this sensor switch perform in different rooms?

The Maestro is tuned for common household areas such as bathrooms, closets, garages, laundry rooms, and kitchens where hands‑free lighting is most useful. It responds quickly to motion and learns ambient light levels so it won’t switch lights on unnecessarily when a space is already bright. The small footprint and neutral‑less installation option make it suitable for older homes as well as new builds.

• Fast motion detection for entryways, closets, and utility rooms
• Daylight sensing prevents unnecessary activation in bright spaces
• Compact design matches Maestro family aesthetics
• Ground‑wire install option when neutral is absent

Which bulb types and loads does the switch support?

This Lutron unit is engineered to work with essentially any lamp technology used in residential settings. It supports LED and CFL lamps as well as incandescent, halogen, electronic and magnetic low‑voltage loads and many ballasts. The product rating limits apply, so check combined load values if multiple fixtures share a single switch circuit.

• Works with LED and CFL technology — up to specified wattage
• Compatible with incandescent and halogen lighting
• Handles electronic and magnetic low‑voltage fixtures and ballasts
• Rated as a 2‑amp single‑pole device — verify total circuit load

What user controls and timing options are available?

The switch offers flexible operation modes to match different user preferences. Choose occupancy mode for full automation (auto‑on and auto‑off) or vacancy mode to require manual on with automatic off. The off delay is programmable so lights can shut off after 1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes of no motion, allowing you to tailor behavior for quick trips or longer tasks.

• Occupancy Mode: automatic ON and OFF for hands‑free use
• Vacancy Mode: manual ON, automatic OFF for energy savings
• Programmable off delays: 1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes
• Adaptive light threshold learns preferred ambient level

How easy is installation and what’s included?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic electrical work and a standard wall box. The switch can be wired using the ground if a neutral conductor is not present, and typical installs take as little as 15 minutes. The package includes two 2‑amp Maestro sensor switches; wallplates and additional accessories are sold separately.

• Quick install in a standard single‑pole wall box
• Neutral‑less wiring option using the ground connection
• Comes as a set of two 2‑amp Maestro switches
• Coordinating Claro wallplate and accessories available separately

Who this switch is for: homeowners and renters looking to add practical, reliable motion‑activated lighting without changing fixtures or bulbs will benefit most. It’s ideal for families with children, people who use hands‑occupied spaces like laundry rooms or garages, and anyone wanting to reduce energy waste without compromising convenience. Electricians and DIY installers will appreciate the neutral‑less option and broad lamp compatibility that make the Maestro an easy retrofit or new‑construction choice.
