How to choose your outdoor security lights:
When deciding on your outdoor security lighting, you will need to consider how you would like to operate your lighting. You can opt for either manual switches, motion detectors or dusk to dawn timers. Manual switches work best for decorative lights such as those illuminating a feature in your garden. Motion detectors are the most common option for security lights. They use a PIR (passive infra-red sensor) to detect motion and switch on. They are great for surprising unwanted visitors but can also be handy when crossing the garden to pop your rubbish in the bin! Dusk to dawn timers are ideal for lighting used for paths and driveways. They create a welcoming ambience and help you and your invited guests park easily and help prevent trips and falls. Using a combination of these outdoor lighting types often provides the best effect, keeping a home safe and secure whilst retaining a sense of style and warmth.
Where to install Outdoor security lights
Outdoor security lighting is best placed at the most vulnerable points of your garden. These are often by garages, alleyways or side entrances and near your back door. You should also consider if you would like your lighting to serve more than one purpose. A well-lit front door and driveway is off-putting to any intruders but makes your return home on a dark evening much more pleasant.
Security lighting installation
Installing outdoor security lighting requires a high level of competency. Electricity can be dangerous and that is particularly true when working outside. Any outdoor electrical installation needs to be properly protected from the elements or there is an increased risk of electrical shock or fire. By choosing a qualified electrician to install your outdoor security lighting you can be sure of a safe installation. They will also have the knowledge and skills to fit the security lighting you choose in the most effective fashion, keeping your property illuminated and protected.
