Using security lights can greatly reduce the chance of crime. A popular form of security lighting is a 250 or 500 watt tungsten halogen floodlight that is controlled by a movement sensor. This form of lighting currently found many domestic locations and can make the area around your home much safer for you and your family.
Dusk-to-Dawn security lighting is another great choice for parking lots, parks and playgrounds, alleys, and private streets. A light-control photocell automatically turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The amber lighting provides visibility and security at night which is critical to pedestrian safety and the reduction of crime.
Low Voltage Security Lights
Another great alternative for security lights is to use a high efficiency low energy light controlled by a photo-electric cell (dusk to dawn switch). This low wattage lighting is permanently on during dark hours and provides a more than adequate level of illumination. It is environmentally friendly and not as harsh as a floodlight.
Low wattage security lights can be placed out of easy reach at a height of eight to ten feet. This will provide illumination to an average rear garden and helps to create a reassuring environment. In terms of cost, the low wattage ensures that the cost to run is minimal even though the light is on all night.
