What Is Security Lighting?

Security lighting is outdoor lighting designed to improve visibility around your home after dark. Fixtures can be installed near doors, garages, driveways, walkways, side yards, patios, and other areas where added light can improve safety and security.

Depending on your needs, security lights may turn on manually, operate from dusk to dawn, or activate when motion is detected. Our security lighting electricians can help determine where fixtures should be placed and which types of controls work best for your needs.

Types of Security Lighting We Install

Our security lighting solutions can be customized around your home’s layout and the areas you want to illuminate. Options include:

  • Motion sensor lighting that turns on when movement is detected near entrances, garages, side yards, or other areas.
  • Floodlights that provide broad, bright illumination for driveways, yards, garages, and larger outdoor spaces.
  • Dusk-to-dawn lighting that automatically turns on when it gets dark and shuts off when daylight returns.
  • Entryway lighting that improves visibility around front doors, back doors, porches, and garage entrances.
  • Driveway lighting that illuminates vehicles, parking areas, and the path from your driveway to your home.
  • Pathway and stair lighting that makes steps and walkways easier to see at night.
  • Smart security lighting that allows compatible outdoor lights to operate on schedules or through smart controls.
  • LED security lights that provide bright outdoor lighting while using less energy than many older lighting options.

We can also replace outdated lighting fixtures or add new electrical wiring where additional security lights are needed.

Benefits of Outdoor Security Lighting

Better Visibility

Outdoor lighting installation makes it easier to see driveways, steps, sidewalks, gates, and entrances after dark. This can help reduce trips and falls while making it easier to move around your property safely.

Dark areas around doors, garages, and side yards can make unusual activity harder to notice. Properly placed outdoor lighting increases visibility, enhances security, and may help discourage people from approaching unnoticed.

Motion sensors and dusk-to-dawn controls can turn lights on automatically when needed. You don’t have to remember to flip a switch every evening or leave outdoor lights running all day.

Security lighting can also highlight entrances, landscaping, and other parts of your home's exterior. The right fixture placement can improve visibility without making the property feel overly bright.

Security Lighting Installation Process

Professional installation helps ensure your lights have safe wiring, proper controls, and reliable power. Our process includes:

  1. Assessing Your Property & Needs: We identify entrances, walkways, dark areas, and other places that could benefit from additional lighting.
  2. Planning Fixture Locations: We determine where lights can provide useful coverage without causing unnecessary glare.
  3. Evaluating Your Electrical System: We check existing wiring, circuits, switches, and available power.
  4. Installing Equipment: Our electricians install the fixtures, wiring, sensors, switches, and controls.
  5. Testing the System: We verify proper operation and make sure motion sensors or automatic controls work as intended.

If new circuits, wiring, or other electrical upgrades are needed, we can complete that work as part of the project.

Security Lighting Repair & Upgrades

Outdoor fixtures are exposed to rain, wind, temperature changes, insects, and normal wear. Over time, these conditions can cause security lights to stop working properly.

Contact our electricians for electrical repair if you notice:

  • Lights that flicker
  • Motion sensors that no longer respond
  • Lights that stay on continuously
  • Fixtures that frequently burn out
  • Damaged or corroded fixtures
  • Loose wiring or electrical boxes
  • Security lights that no longer turn on
  • Breakers or GFCIs that repeatedly trip

We can troubleshoot the problem and determine whether the fixture, sensor, wiring, switch, or circuit needs repair or replacement. Older security lights can also be upgraded to LED fixtures, motion sensors, dusk-to-dawn controls, or compatible smart lighting.

Electrical Connection’s service was great. Josh, the technician who worked on our project, went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the results and offered solid alternatives along the way. He was detail‑oriented and did a great job covering the holes in the drywall. As with any job like this, we’ll still need to finish and paint, but he patched everything up really well. This was a major project that included replacing a breaker panel and a few other smaller improvements. I’d definitely call them again when the time comes.

Super easy to schedule and work with. We got recessed lights put into two rooms, and our electrician James was informative and helpful, being detailed and upfront throughout the job. He continued to be helpful through any questions we had. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend Electrical Connections and Josh T specifically. We had an issue with our gas water heater, and EC / Josh were a huge help in the midst of a chaotic couple of days trying to make decisions on repair/replace, and gas vs heat pump water heaters. EC was easy to get in touch with, got me connected quickly and scheduled with Josh, who arrived on time, did a thorough inspection, and gave me a no pressure set of options to consider. He was incredibly responsive as we worked through final plumbing quotes and was able to adjust his schedule with the dispatcher to do the electrical work the same day so we could get our water heater replaced ASAP. Josh went above and beyond and was professional and a pleasure to work with throughout the process. I can’t thank Josh and EC enough for helping make this experience less stressful for our family.

Franklin was wonderful. He was so thorough and clearly walked us through the work and the issues he uncovered (including some possible fire hazards that we are SO thankful he resolved). He was also just very friendly and nice to have around! Whenever we need an electrician again, we will be happy to have him back.

Kisan Jones is an excellent electrician. This is the second time I've interacted with him. He told me what he was going to do, he did what he said and explained it to me thoroughly before and after. Both times he was in teaching mode with an apprentice by his side. I hope it was a good experience for them because I learned a lot myself. Not only that, he saved me thousands of dollars as the "other" company was only trying to upsell me. He's respectful, personable and knows his business. The other staff was responsive, caring and alert to my concerns. I highly recommend this company.

Peter Aurgaur and Jeremiah Castillo did a great job today replacing/upgrading my breaker panel. They worked very well together to efficiently perform all aspects of the job. I look forward to getting a successful inspection and then closing outage work when Pepco arrives to work with Peter to up date my meter and housing.
