Is there a specific type of motion detector for use in long hallways?
If you are able to wire in a device at a height of 7' on one end of the hallway, you can use this Lithonia Acuity HW13 Hallway Sensor that will give you a straight line range of up to 130 feet.



When choosing a motion sensor, I usually take into consideration the motion angle and the square footage of the detector. We use 180 degree detectors in our hallways.

Here is a diagram of motion light switch that covers 180 degrees at up to 900 sq. feet. It would cover appx. 16.9 feet in either direction and up to 16.9 feet in front of it with an overall square footage of 900 square feet.
