We had a staff meeting today. We usually hold the meetings prior to opening up the library to the public. The meetings are held in a corner conference room. This conference room has southern and western exposure - windows from floor to ceiling on those two sides. It's beautiful and well lit.
The hallway leading to this room is off of the staff break room. Just next door to this conference room is the Director's office. Further yet down the hallway is a door that leads to a climate controlled entrance - the main entrance to the library. The hallway is lit by lights that are motion sensor activated. So, after a certain amount of time if there is no movement in the hallway, the lights will automatically turn off. Also, as soon as you move so much as a door handle, the lights will automatically turn on.
During our meeting we all remain seated for the majority of the time - meaning - we aren't moving about too much. Sometimes one of us will get up to get more coffee, etc. We can walk by the doorway of that room without making the sensors activate. However, today, the lights were activated 3 times. I wasn't the only one that noticed it either. My co-worker sitting next to me mentioned it also.
So, watts (LOL) up with that?
We have another area in the library with motion sensor lights. I've not noticed these lights going on without a patron in the area. I see them go OFF while we are working, but not ON without movement under them.
