Are Security Lights Effective at Protecting a Home?

Outdoor security lights are designed to alert you and those around you should an intruder attempt to access your Warwickshire home. When they are illuminated, security lights remove the shadows around points of entry and make it harder for a would-be intruder to access your home unseen. Often just the presence of effective security lighting will deter a would-be thief, as it is no longer an easy, low risk target.

Benefits of a Security Lighting Installation

  • Deter intruders - Good security lighting should, at least in part, be highly visible to anyone considering accessing your property. This acts as a visible deterrent, demonstrating that your home is well protected and a high-risk proposition for any would be thief.
  • Peace of mind - Knowing that your home is properly protected, and that there are no dark shadows for people to lurk in, makes your home feel safer - particularly when coming home or answering the door late at night. 
  • Safer access for invited guests - A well planned security lighting installation can be multipurpose and help with more than just security. Careful placement of lights can make your home more inviting to guests, lighting a safe path along your driveway and making it easy to find your front door.
  • Insurance benefits - Many insurers offer lower premiums to homes that improve their security by installing security lights. It is worth finding out if your insurer offers this benefit. 
  • Aesthetically pleasing - A security lighting installation can do more than just protect your home, it can make it look good too. The right lighting scheme can be used to highlight pathways and areas of interest and create dramatic effects. 

Security Lighting Styles

There are many different kinds of security lights you can select for your Warwickshire home. A good security lighting installation should combine several different lighting styles to provide the best levels of protection. An experienced securing lighting electrician will provide invaluable advice as to which lighting would be best for your home. They can create a security lighting design to suit your needs and budget. The main security lighting styles are:

  • Motion sensors (PIR Lights) - Motion sensor lights are used to swiftly provide startling bright light when they are triggered. Commonly found near rear or side entrances and garages, they alert anyone nearby that someone is on the property. Operating in short bursts, they represent an energy efficient option.
  • Floodlights - Floodlights are one of the most popular options for security lighting and are used where constant light is required. They are often used on patios or at the front of a home. Used correctly they can also provide an aesthetically pleasing effect and be used for entertaining in the warmer months. 
  • Landscape security lights - These security lights are less utilitarian in design and can create some beautiful effects whilst still making it harder for intruders to access your home. You can select from many different styles to suit your particular tastes.
  • Solar security lights - Solar lights can make a useful addition to a security lighting installation. Particularly useful to mark the boundaries of your property they reduce your energy consumption whilst still enhancing your security.
