Motion Lights
Motion lighting is an easy, cost-effective way to provide added security to your home or property. Not only does it offer added security, it is also an attractive addition. Motion lighting can be installed at your home in no time and offers great benefits to you as a homeowner.
How Motion Lighting Works
Motion lighting, just as the name suggests, is a motion detecting lighting system. A sensor in the light detects infrared or heat waves, as they are commonly called, from objects such as people, animals or vehicles. The lights contain a preset timer allowing you to choose how long you would like the light to stay on. In the event that a potential intruder is creeping around your property, the light will sense the movement and turn on.
Benefits of Motion Lighting
There are many benefits of having home floodlighting installed outside of your home. Motion lighting not only provides additional safety, it also provides added convenience for the homeowner, and is considered a feature that adds value to your home. As mentioned, the lights sense movement and turn on automatically. This oftentimes is enough to scare potential predators away. It also provides additional safety in the event that you are coming home after dark. The motion lights will turn on allowing you to see the path to your front door and depending on where the lights are installed, you will be able to unlock your door with adequate light.
Motion lighting is also known to keep critters away. Have a raccoon getting into your garbage? Motion lighting often scares these pests away.
An added benefit is having lights when you go outside at night. To take out the trash or run to the garage for a tool. It not only provides safety against pests or intruders, but offers lighting for your needs.
Other benefits of flood lighting include:
- Energy efficient
- Long-lasting
- Emit bright light
- Low cost to replace and/or maintain
- Stand up to temperature changes
Where to Install Motion Lighting
The most common places to install floodlighting is at both corners of your garage and on your back door. If you have a deck, installing a light at one or both corners is also common as well. Having the lights installed in these areas give you a peripheral view of the areas of your property that would otherwise be in the dark. Although these are common areas for installing motion lighting, you can install it anywhere you choose. A highly trained electrician can come to your home to inspect the area you would like to install lighting and install it most times the same day. As you can see, installing motion lighting has multiple benefits. You will be instantly rewarded with added security, convenience, and curb appeal.
