The standard mounting height for a motion sensor on an LED canopy light is around 50 feet, providing an approximate 60-foot diameter coverage area in open conditions. The minimum mounting height is typically 8 feet, though at lower elevations the detection zone narrows to about 12–16 feet in diameter. Many LED canopy fixtures feature adjustable motion sensors, allowing users to fine-tune the detection range and sensitivity to match specific installation needs. Always consider visual obstructions such as racking, shelving, or beams, as these can limit sensor performance and reduce effective coverage.
