Security lighting tips and benefits for your house

General

Hiring a team of armed security guards to provide around-the-clock protection for your home is probably one of the most effective home security options available. However a full-time security team is not a feasible option for most homeowners.

Fortunately, more practical home security options are available. Using a common-sense approach to home defense can improve security and provide increased protection for your family and possessions.

The first step to improving home security is assessment. Homeowners need to survey the premises and assess security concerns. Take a good look at the residence, including the structure, the landscaping, the perimeter, the interior and the surrounding areas. A commonsense assessment should produce a list of necessary improvements and security concerns. In addition to installing proper security lighting, the list might include improvements such as installing better entry locks and trimming overgrown shrubs or setting up surveillance cameras and perimeter alarms.

Security lighting is considered to be one of the most effective components of home defense. Many different types of security lights are available to provide increased protection against intruders. Photosensitive, motion activated and timed security lights help prevent home invasions. Most burglars and thieves do not want to be in the spotlight. Appropriate fixture and system selection and proper placement will ensure added safety and optimal security.

Mode of control, power source, wattage, durability, radius of coverage, operative options and initial and continual costs are some important features to consider before making a purchase. Above garage doors, patio areas, walkways and house corners are a few premium spots for security lights. The fixtures should be protected and installed out of reach. It is important to be considerate of neighbors when installing security lighting as well.

Motion detecting lights are among the most popular and most effective types of security lighting options. These lights are activated when their sensors detect motion. Sudden illumination of a dark area tends to send prowlers running. Area lights that are activated and deactivated at dusk and dawn are also popular.

Researching and implementing effective security lighting for your house will provide increased protection and peace of mind. Savvy consumers also know the importance of checking consumer reviews, warranties and return policies before making a purchase.
