Security Lighting is an inexpensive way to upgrade your homes safety and curb appeal. In this video we discuss How to Choose Security Lighting.
The key to home security lighting is that it has motion sensing abilities AND dusk to dawn. You dont want your home security lighting coming on during the day and also there is no need to have it on when no one is nearby.
We discuss several Security Lighting options in the video.
Decorative home security lighting
If you are shopping for new lights then make sure you purchase ones with built in dusk to day and motion sensing capabilities. Your aesthetic selections may be somewhat limited though.
Utilitarian home security lighting
Many people will use a more utilitarian light dedicated to home security.
Upgrading existing lighting to be home security lighting
Handyguy Brian decided he didn’t want either option. Instead he bought a separate motion sensor with dusk to dawn and installed it in eave of his garage. He was able to keep the nice lights he already had and added the security capabilities.
If you are handy with electrical projects, or hire an electrician, a sensor like this can be added to existing lighting.
