Security lighting is an easy and cost-effective solution to increase the security of your home or company.
Read on for our full guide to the advantages of security lighting.
Theft Deterrence
The main purpose of security lighting is to deter potential intruders from your home or business. These lights can be set to turn on at certain times, at certain light levels, or when they detect motion. They light up the grounds surrounding a property, increasing visibility, and starkly rendering any would-be intruder.
Safety
Homes and businesses can often become hazardous in the dark. Small tripping hazards can transform into serious health risks when they are no longer visible. In addition to warding off break-ins, security lights can solve this issue by illuminating a safe way into a property.
Presentation
While its primary job is to provide security, security lighting also enhances the operation of your outdoor area. The ambient tones they emit make it more comfortable for friends and guests to meet outside in the late hours. Furthermore, these warm tones may significantly improve a property’s visual appeal.
Where Should You Position Your Security Lighting?
Positioning is vital. To maximise its advantages, make sure that your security lighting covers the following areas:
Doorways
Keep all entries into your property well-lit to deter burglars and increase visibility while entering and exiting the building. Additionally, it is supremely helpful when trying to fit keys into your door locks.
Paths
Any walkways leading to your property should be well-marked to avoid people tripping on invisible hazards. It also helps mark the correct direction for visitors to go in.
Steps
In the dark of night, steps become one of the most dangerous tripping hazards on a property. Security lighting prevents this. It properly illuminates the space it covers, letting people know where they should go and where it is safe to step.
Address Signs
This is especially important when you are expecting night-time visits or deliveries. Having your physical address number clearly visible and highlighted by the lighting helps people know that they are in the right place.
