Abstract

This invention includes a motion detector, electric connector harness apparatus, and master-slaves and connections to fluorescent tube light fixtures and electric power line connected to the motion detector, or to a master-slave in the electric connector harness apparatus and the motion detector responding to any motion in its field of view to activate lighting of the fluorescent light fixtures.
