Security Lighting

Why Choose Security Lighting?

While you don’t really want your home to light up like a beacon to stray ships, the right amount of light, in the right places has been proven as an effective deterrent to intruders and unwanted company. In addition, security lighting can help with general safety, reducing the risk of injury and incident outside of your home.

What Is The Right Kind Of Security Lighting?

Garish and unnecessary amounts of light can leave your home looking like an appetizing take to the wrong kind of person, and creates a very unappealing aesthetic. The key is in choosing the right kind of lighting for your home specifically, and positioning it in ways that would deter unwanted attention. For home security, we recommend and offer these types of security lighting:

• Flood lighting. Flood lighting can do wonders for nighttime visibility and security both. These often do best around doorways, including garage and basement access. Windows are also a tantalizing prospect for would-be intruders, and we heartily recommend security lighting for those as well!
• Tree lighting. Some landscapes boast an impressive amount of foliage. And while this can look great, it can also double as cover for unsavory persons. Tree lighting eliminates this issues, improving security overall.
• Motion-sensing light. Motion sensors are an excellent choice for any security lighting project. They serve a dual purpose, both deterring potential issues (persons and animals alike), and put you immediately on alert in a time when fast-action may be of prime importance. Again, these do very well near doors, gates and entrances. Many homeowners will line fenceless property with motion-lighting as well.

Convoluted systems and overdone equipment cost you money and time both, and are in general more costly than they are worth. The best plan for security lighting is to keep it simple, straightforward and safe. Choose lighting that covers your bases best, and suit your home’s specific needs.
