Security lighting for a commercial property
Security lighting is a priority. In order to set up security lighting for a small business, you need to know what parts of your commercial property need to be lit, when and how much. The goal of this is not only to create an intimidating environment for criminals, but to help your customers and employees see what they are doing after dark. During regular business hours, ordinary lighting provides all the indoor security lighting you need. In order to decide how much light you need after business hours, you will need to sit down with a security lighting expert and talk about 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.
Residential security lighting
If you are worried about your home, a Fort Mill, SC house with well-lit grounds is much less tempting to a criminal than one shrouded in darkness — there are too many opportunities to be seen. Instead of a few bright lights, try to use a lot of weak ones. This will cut down on glare, provide even lighting for the whole yard and prevent the formation of pools of shadow that an intruder could hide in. Many lights are also harder to sabotage than a few. Speaking of sabotage, your lights should be pointed away from your house, high up on the walls out of reach of vandals. They should be resistant to bad weather or thrown rocks, and their wiring should be arranged in such a way that it cannot be easily cut. Only a professional electrician can do this.
Security cameras boost the effectiveness of your lighting system by capturing the image of anyone who does set foot on your property when you are not home. This is another feature that demands the services of an electrician for proper installation. Look for cameras with HD capacity that can work in low light or at night. Motion-activated cameras with zoom lenses offer greatest convenience.
