FAQs
How can outdoor lighting help with security?
Outdoor lights are commonly used to deter unwanted visitors on your property by suggesting the presence of others nearby, and by making it easier for potential intruders to be spotted - this is especially true for PIR lights which illuminate when they detect movement. Adequate lighting also illuminates walkways and entrances at night to help people feel secure, and to help people to find their way round, minimising the risk of trips and falls.
What are the benefits of LEDs?
Our outdoor security lighting is compatible with LED technology, bringing a host of benefits to the functionality and energy costs associated with lighting outdoor areas. For example, LEDs consume less power compared to traditional lighting but still provide high-intensity lighting and offer reduced energy costs, making them ideal for outdoor use.
How do LED floodlights with PIR sensors work?
LED floodlights with PIR sensors feature a built-in passive infrared motion sensor that detects motion within a specific range. When motion is detected, outdoor sensor lights are activated automatically, providing instant light. This is great for conserving energy by only activating the light when needed, and helps provide a safe entry and exit to your property.
How do I choose the right outdoor security light for my needs?
Here are the most important factors to consider when choosing your outdoor lights:
Type of area
Larger areas may require multiple fixtures or high-powered lights to ensure uniform brightness.
Brightness level
Security lighting requires a high level of brightness to be effective. Look for the number of lumens your chosen lighting offers - the higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light intensity. For example, you may prefer brighter lighting for car park lighting compared to garden security lights. Security lights are typically between 700-1300 lumens.
PIR sensors
PIR sensors help to deter intruders by detecting motion to automatically turn lights on. Check for adjustable settings such as timers, sensitivity and range of detection.
How do I maintain outdoor wall lights?
Regular maintenance and inspection are essential for ensuring the reliability and performance of your outdoor security lights. Clean the fixtures and lenses and PIR motion sensors periodically to remove dirt and debris and inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of damage or wear. Replace bulbs or fixtures as needed, following the manufacturer's recommendations.
Are your outdoor security lights suitable for severe weather conditions?
Our outdoor security lights are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions like rain, snow and sun. Don't forget to check that your security lights have an appropriate ingress protection (IP) rating for your specific placement.
