State-of-the-art energy efficient lighting and controls
When it comes to security lighting for crime prevention, strategy and expertise mean everything. In the past, many businesses and families would install big, bright, glare-creating globe lights, or randomly-placed flood lights to prevent criminals from sneaking up on them at night. Numerous studies have shown, however, that just over-lighting a back garden or side of the property does little to deter and may actually help criminals find easier access to these places.
The key to successful security lighting is strategically placing and aiming the flood lights or spotlights where they will startle and at least temporarily blind an intruder, while also alerting you, your neighbours and passers-by to their activity. Our electricians have been designing and installing security lighting setups for homes and businesses in the area for over 30 years, so we know how to evaluate where and how to install a successful crime prevention lighting scheme.

Flood lights and spotlights: Some things to consider about security lighting
The main objective of security lighting is to suddenly flood a dark area with light, causing an intruder to retreat and leave your home or business alone. We evaluate the darkest, most intruder-prone areas to determine where security lighting should be strategically placed, particularly around entrance and exit locations and dark hiding spots where they will not be noticed, making these areas useless to criminals.
Whilst often useful, motion sensors cannot always tell the difference between a passing neighbourhood cat, the wind, or an intruder. Fortunately, newer models of motion-sensing floodlights and spotlights are being developed with sensitivity settings that can get closer to making the light turn on only when a person passes by the sensor. Many security lighting options also come with a manual override switch that enables the owner to switch off the motion sensor if the light keeps coming on for no apparent reason. These lights can also help when a pet has to make a night-time excursion, or to guide the way of those entering the building late at night.
