Security Lighting

Do security lights installed on your home help to deter break-in?

Security lighting can help to reduce the risk of a break-in. It can be a good deterrent to prowlers, who prefer to enter under the shield of darkness.  Intruders are more likely to be recognized and apprehended.

Consider some of the following measures to help reduce this risk.

Timer Switches

Timer Switches can replace existing switches and offer control of both interior and exterior lighting. Programmable for multiple on/off cycles each day, modern digital timer switches provide you with the ability to set up your lights for automatic control and provide a lived-in look, even while you are away.  Some models will even automatically adjust for the changing Sunset and Sunrise times throughout the year. No longer will you need to reprogram the settings every time the seasons change.  The switch does it all for you!  Just set it and forget it!

Motion-Activated Switches

Motion-activated switches operate interior lighting installations, without having to worry about touching a switch. The lights in the room will remain turned on, and remain on, as long as motion is detected by the switch. This type of switching works well if you don’t want to worry about leaving the lights on when you leave the room. Just walk in and out, the sensor does the rest!

Wireless and Remote switches

Modern technology switches are available, that allow additional switching locations from virtually anywhere in your home or business. Need an extra switch at the bottom of the stairs? Need a handheld wireless remote so you can turn on outdoor lighting when you arrive home? Talk to one of our Electricians about installing that extra switch virtually anywhere you like.

Other Security Measures

Video Camera Surveillance Systems (CCTV) on the exterior of your home or office can offer a strong deterrent to crime. Options for monitoring right from your TV set, or from a separate dedicated monitor, and even remote access through your PC or Smartphone anywhere in the world.

Motion Sensor Flood Lights may offer a strong deterrent to prowlers and home invasion criminals.  These people do not want their actions to be seen. Motion sensor lights detect the movement of heat, and then automatically flood the area with bright light for a preset amount of time.  Sensitivity adjustments can be set to help prevent false tripping, and the length of time that the light will remain on (once motion is no longer detected) can also be adjusted.

Despite these features, motion sensor lights are often temperamental and may cause annoyances such as ‘lack of detection’ or hypersensitivity’. Finding the “optimal” setting is often hard to achieve. If you would really like them installed on your home, we would be happy to help you with that, provided that you supply the light fixture. Our collective experience and recommendation as a company would be to seek an alternative solution, such as Digital Timer Switches, for your security lighting requirements.
