Security Lighting
Permanent lighting can be more than just a cosmetic upgrade; it can actually improve the safety and security of a home. By installing permanent lights, you will add extra visibility around your home, deterring criminals and vandals from messing with your investment.

Quality Light For Clearer Footage
Having flood lights, porch lights, or motion-activated lights around your home can help security cameras capture better footage of intruders. Clear footage could be the difference between catching the perpetrator and an unsolved case. Placing these lights in important locations and near the cameras can give the cameras a clear view of someone’s face, clothing, or vehicle.
Permanent security lighting can also be controlled from your smartphone, which will help you control the lights without being home. When you are away, the risks of burglary increase, so having a smart system of lights can deter criminals from targeting your vulnerable home.
Motion-Activated Lighting
When motion is detected around your home, lights should turn on for safety and higher security. These lights will come on when your teenager comes home, if someone is snooping around your home, or if animals are entering your yard. Motion-activated security lights can also be connected to security cameras, signaling them to start recording as well. Luminous lighting that comes on when someone gets close to your home or driveway can add safety and deter most criminals from messing with your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Where Should I Install Permanent Security Lighting?
Permanent lighting can be installed around the perimeter of your home, but security lights can be placed in strategic areas to deter robbery and crime. Some common places for security lighting include front doors, side entrances, back doors, bedroom windows, living room windows, garages, patios, side decks, walkways, corners, and sides of the home. Placing lights in these areas will help ensure you don’t miss an important view of a criminal.
-
Can My Lighting Be Integrated With My Existing Security System?
Yes, modern lighting can be connected or integrated with security systems already installed in your home. Modern systems utilize Bluetooth or WiFi to connect to an app, which means you could connect lights in the same way. Smart home hubs can help you monitor your lights and motion around the home, or schedule the lights to come on at specific times (dusk or sunset).
-
How Bright Should My Security Lights Be?
The brightness of your security lights will depend on your home, the area you live in, and what part you are illuminating. For security lighting, it is recommended that 700-1300 lumens light up a residential space. Brightness does matter because too much can cause glare on cameras, but too little could make getting a clear picture of a criminal much more difficult. Placement and brightness play a part in getting proper lighting and keeping your home safe.
