One of the most common reasons customers choose to hire a professional outdoor lighting company is to ensure maximum safety and security for their homes. By simply turning on front door and garage lights many people feel they are protecting their homes. When deciding if your home’s outdoor lighting is providing your family with the appropriate amount of security, it is a good idea to walk your property at night. By doing this, you can determine what areas may need more lighting and what type of lighting is necessary. Adding additional lighting to other areas of your property will ensure you are stepping up protection for your family and home.

Front door and entryway- Most people utilize the main light by their front entrance, but in a perfect scenario, creating more light will deter any possible intruders from approaching this area. Not only can they be seen by you, but they can be seen by neighbors or passers-by. In order to do this, lighting entryways, facades, or walkways would be necessary. If you do not have a large front door area, by simply keeping the entire entryway and walkway well-lit will certainly help.

Dark areas- There may be corners or other areas of your house where trespassers or intruders can hide. By lighting these dark areas with either permanent fixtures or motion detectors, you allow for these potential hiding spots to be less inviting.

Outdoor living areas- Many intruders may try a point of entry that is not seen well by others. By providing ample lighting to your backyard and outdoor living area, you not only keep unwanted visitors away, but you are able to enjoy your time spent outdoors while entertaining or relaxing with the knowledge your lighting will provide added security.
