Security Lighting Solutions We Install
The right mix of fixtures is what makes outdoor security lights work well, without making your property feel harsh or overlit.
Common solutions we install include:

Want a cleaner “built-in” look? Many clients pair security lighting with permanent accent lights along rooflines. Learn more about permanent options.

Where Security Lighting Matters Most
Great security lighting is about coverage, not just brightness. We focus on the spots that matter most, so you don’t end up with dark corners near the places you use every day.
We often recommend lighting for:
- Driveways and front approaches so you can park and walk with confidence
- Side doors and gates where shadows tend to collect
- Backyards and patios for evening comfort and clear sightlines
- Walkways, steps, and pool areas for safer footing after dark
- HOA common areas and neighborhood entries to support a consistent, welcoming look
- Parking lots and loading zones where visibility helps reduce risk and liability
For homeowners, this is the difference between “I hope I saw that step” and “I feel comfortable outside at night.” For property managers, it’s fewer complaints and fewer close calls.
Design Matters in Outdoor Security Lighting
Outdoor security lighting should protect your property, not wash it out. Bad placement can cause glare, create deeper shadows, or shine into neighbors’ windows.
That’s why we design first, then install. We look at angles, spacing, and brightness by area, so the lighting feels even and natural. We also use a layered approach, combining path lighting, accent lighting, and targeted floods where needed.
If you’d like a peek behind our approach, our design team follows clear principles to keep lighting balanced and tasteful.

Why Some Spaces Require More Lumens
Certain locations, like parking lots or loading zones, need extra-bright outdoor lighting. The foot traffic and potential hazards demand lights that produce a high lumen output. This ensures drivers can see clearly, and pedestrians can move around safely. Providing enough illumination is vital to prevent mishaps and reduce liability concerns.
When you have larger areas, you naturally require more lumens for comprehensive coverage. Our specialists evaluate each space and recommend fixtures that match the needed brightness level. Whether you manage an office park or a retail center, a well-lit environment helps everyone feel more confident when moving about after dark.
LED Technology: Cutting-Edge Security
Modern LED technology has changed the game in outdoor security lighting. These fixtures don’t just shine brighter; they also last longer than traditional bulbs. By using LEDs, you reduce the energy used for the same amount of light. This results in lower utility bills and less frequent bulb replacements.
LEDs also offer better control over light output. You can adjust brightness levels based on your property’s layout, ensuring each area has the right illumination. This allows for custom lighting designs that highlight key zones while keeping power consumption in check. It’s a smart choice for both safety and sustainability.
Energy Efficiency with Modern Security Solutions
We receive many frequently asked questions about outdoor security lighting. One common query involves “how many lumens for outdoor security light fixtures” are best. As discussed, the ideal lumen range depends on the size of your outdoor space and your goals. Another frequent concern is whether LED flood lights can save money.
Our answer is yes—LED technology greatly reduces energy usage. We also hear questions about motion sensor lights and how they can automatically turn on. This feature is excellent for saving power and adding an extra layer of security. Whatever your concerns, our team is ready to guide you to the right solution.
