About the full video
This project provides step-by-step instructions for installing LED light strips onto a garage sectional door. The installation involves attaching magnetic LED strips to the door tracks and crossbar, mounting a motion sensor, connecting the various components (LED strips, motion sensor, transformer), and finally plugging the system into a power socket to provide illuminated garage lighting triggered by motion.
Step 5 of 7: Wire Motion Sensors and Power Supply
Wire the motion sensors according to their manufacturer's instructions. Typically, the sensor will be connected between the power supply and the LED strips. Ensure correct polarity. The power supply will then be connected to a mains power source.
