Security Lights

Security Lighting

While sufficient lighting around a commercial facility deters crime, it is vital that security lighting be calculated carefully as poorly designed security lighting can create glare that criminals are aware of and actively take advantage of it.  Every year thousands of burglaries take place in commercial businesses. These regrettable conditions may have been prevented if the proper security lighting had been in place. Business owners require a quality retailer of security lighting fixtures in order to achieve an ample security lighting theme.

Security Lighting Tips

• Security lights should be placed high enough above the ground so intruders cannot disable them.
• Prevent glare by using a shield or lamp housing which conceals the bulb.
• Direct lighting fixture onto the ground.
• Lighting brightness should be 0.05 watts per square foot.
• Using multiple lamps of moderate power instead of a few powerful lamps will reduce glare and provide more even illumination.
• Security lighting fixtures should be easily accessible for bulb changing and cleaning.
• Make sure the electric meter box is locked or difficult to get to.
• Control and power lines, where outside or vulnerable, should be either buried well underground preferably in conduit or at a height of at least 24 feet.
• Multiple circuits should be used to avoid an unintentional or malicious short or cut causing all security lights to stop working.
• Security lighting fixtures should be installed properly.
• Security lighting should not be installed where they can create blinding glare to oncoming drivers.
