Outdoor security lighting can be very effective for multiple reasons, not only will it keep your home or property safer but it’s also very practical and if well planned then it can also be a feature for residential homes as well as private properties and businesses.
There are many choices of security lighting nowadays and there are different methods to achieve the same goals or integrate them with CCTV systems. Talking to your local experts like Horsell Electrical will make this process a whole lot easier so just give a call for a free quote and some friendly advice.
It’s broadly accepted that there are four kinds of security lighting (continuous, standby, movable and emergency) though there are many choices and variations on how to implement each type but here are the main actual light choices themselves.
Most of the lights above can be LED lights, meaning that they are incredibly energy efficient, and more reliable and newer models also have much-improved performance in the cold.

Like any home improvement, security lights will add value to your home, but also there are other benefits both from a security perspective and a practical one:
Horsell Electrical can adapt your existing security lights to become set and forget, meaning they can just be left on all the time with sensors reacting to the amount of light during the year. By installing sunset switches we can make your lights automatic so you don't have to set sometimes problematic timers or remember to turn them on manually. They can be adjusted to suit the timing you require and can also work with motion sensors too.
Smart home systems can also control your home’s security and regular lighting which is great when you are away as your home will appear occupied.
