Benefits of Security Lights at Your Home
Installing security lighting around the house has a lot of benefits that not all homeowners think about:
- Deters Crime: Bright light acts as a natural crime deterrent to burglars and trespassers alike who operate in the shadows.
- Increases Visibility: Better lighting makes it easier to navigate potential walking hazards such as objects, curbs, and ice. It also makes it a lot easier to get the key in the lock.
- Enhances Curb Appeal: Strategically placed security lights can add a touch of elegance to your homeโs exterior.
- Gives Peace of Mind: Knowing your property is well-lit can give you a sense of security and allow you to relax and enjoy your evenings.
Apollo Homeโs Expert Security Lighting Installation Services
Our expert electricians are certified, insured, and have undergone extensive training. We know how to professionally install outdoor security lighting and make it look nice.
More than just expert installation, we know how to help you design an excellent outdoor lighting layout. A good security lighting design takes many factors into consideration, such as the following:
Security Lighting Placement
Lighting should be placed high up so nothing can easily reach them and knock them out. The higher the light fixture, the brighter the bulb should be. Ideally, light fixtures are shining downward.
A good lighting design uses more medium-bright lights rather than just a few very bright ones. Lights should be placed above garages, decks, patios, front doors, and walkways. In your yard, consider lights along pathways, water features (to keep people from falling in), tall trees, and around your perimeter.
Our experts will help you design your residential security lighting to keep your home lit and safe without blinding your neighbors.
Types of Security Lights
There are many different types of outdoor lighting to choose from, such as:
- Motion Sensor Lights: These lights turn on whenever they sense a heat signatureโeither humans or nocturnal creatures like raccoons. The suddenness of a motion sensor light flooding on can deter criminals.
- Timer Lights: These lights can be scheduled to turn on and off at specific times. This helps you not to forget to turn your lights on or off, and it can help you pretend someone is home even when you are away.
- Photocell Dawn-to-Dusk Lights: These turn on whenever their photocell cannot sense enough outdoor light, which means every time the sun sets, it turns on. Because they are light-sensitive, they, in effect, automatically adjust for daylight saving time and other lighting changes, such as cloudy weather.
- Floodlights: Floodlights shine a lot of light on a specific area. They can be combined with any of the three options above and are great for careful lighting that doesnโt shine light directly into your neighborโs home.
- Pathway Lights: These can light up any pathway. They add a wonderful ambiance and make walking up to your home safer.
Weโll help you choose which lights and where those lights should be placed for maximum efficiency. Enhance your homeโs security and your peace of mind with our professional security lighting installation services in Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Ohio, and Northern Kentucky.
