Question 1

If this unit is plugged into a switched outlet, will the lights come on when the switch is turned on or will the motion sensor need to be triggered?

Accepted Answer

The other answers aren't 100% accurate.  This can be controlled by a switched outlet, but that's not how most setup the set. One of the light bars does have a motion sensor and the "normal" setup would involve placing this light as the first light with all others chained from the other end of this first light bar. In this setup the sensor acts as the switch for all the lights.A second option would be to plug the power adapter into any of the other bars first and place the bar with the switch as the last light with the sensor end as the last end of the chain. This way the motion sensor switch is at the end and would only affect things connected beyond it, but there should be nothing connected beyond it so that switch won't matter.The light bars have two ends and only one bar has a switch.  In the picture you can see the sensor (black dot in the middle of the bar closest to the adapter), this sensor electrically is the first thing after the power adapter. If you plug the power adapter into the one end of the light bar the light will be off until the switch is triggered "on". If you plug into the other end the bar will be on regardless of the switch, this is a straight connection to/from the LEDs. All the other light bars have this direct connection to power the LEDs from both ends of the bar, so electricity flows freely between all the connected bars. If you can plug the adapter into that switched outlet and then connect up the adapter to what would be the top most end of the chain in the picture then the lights would work exactly as you want. You may need to swap ends of the bar with the sensor, but that would be the only change.We have two of these sets, and are looking at adding more. They are great under counter lights!

Question 2

Will the lights turn off accidentally while preparing food on a kitchen counter or is the IR range limited to just under the sensor?

Accepted Answer

My experience is that they CAN turn on or off occasionally when you don’t want them to, but in our case it is usually when a large kitchen item like a rice cooker is being used right under the sensor, not when you are moving smaller items like cups or dishes around on the counter.  For our units I would say your hand needs to be within maybe 3” under the sensor and a couple inches on either side to trigger.   To reduce unwanted triggering you should coordinate mounting light with counter appliance organization
