Commercial security lighting, inside and out

We think of commercial security lighting as something that protects the outside of a business, but one of the most important parts of it is indoors. During regular business hours, your normal lighting should offer all the indoor security lighting you need, but you need to plan for after hours. Have you ever gone out and left the lights on at home, or had your lights set to go on and off on an automatic timer, to ward off burglars by making it look like there is still someone at home? This works for Fort Mill, SC businesses as well as homes.

When you are trying to set up a commercial security lighting system for your small business, the first thing to decide is what parts of the property need to be lit, when they need lighting and how much lighting they need. Directed lighting, along with security cameras, can be used to protect the easy-access areas of your property.

You should also make a point of protecting your commercial security lighting. If thieves or vandals strike, it will be the first thing they attack. Place it out of reach or protect it with wire mesh.

Ask expert electricians about commercial security lighting

The goal of commercial security lighting is not only to create an intimidating environment for criminals, but to help keep your customers and employees safe by allowing them to see what they are doing after dark. You will want to be able to do all this without stretching your budget, either in the installation or in monthly energy use. In order to decide how much light you need after business hours, you will need to have a discussion with an expert in security lighting and figure out how much lighting you need, how much would be too much, how it should be turned on and off and what the most energy-efficient options are. LED bulbs are almost certainly your best option as far as efficiency goes. Ask your electrician which type of LED bulb is best suited to security lighting.
