Security Lights

Outdoor residential security lighting is exterior lighting designed to help protect a home by illuminating dark areas around the property. It enhances visibility, deters unwanted activity, and increases safety by reducing hiding spots and making movement more noticeable at night. Commonly installed along walls, entryways, garages, and yards, security lighting often uses bright LED fixtures, motion sensors, or dusk-to-dawn controls to provide reliable, energy-efficient protection while improving overall nighttime visibility.

A home burglary occurs every 13 seconds in the United States. Residential burglaries account for nearly 70 percent of all burglary offenses, and yet police solve less than 15 percent of the cases that get reported. It is critical to have outdoor lighting for home security, as it deters burglars, makes nighttime tasks around the home (finding keys, walking the dog, etc.) safer, and helps homeowners recognize and defend themselves from threats.

Yes. Installing 120–277V outdoor lighting is best handled by a licensed electrician because it involves working with high-voltage electrical systems that must meet strict safety and building code requirements. An electrician ensures proper wiring, grounding, circuit protection, and weatherproof connections, reducing the risk of electrical shock, fire hazards, and equipment failure. Professional installation also helps ensure the lighting performs reliably, complies with local codes, and avoids costly mistakes or liability issues.
