Security Lighting

Security Lighting is without doubt one of the most effective preventative security measures you can use to protect your property at night. For many years the choice was to use lights that although relatively cheap to run could not be used in conjunction with movement sensors. The reason this could not be done was that the discharge lights such as sodium or metal halide flood lights do not switch on immediately; they took more than a few minutes to warm up.

This is not ideal when you want to deter unwanted visitors to your property. Equally, with huge increases in electricity prices, it’s clearly not cost effective to leave these security lights on all night using electricity and creating light pollution. The solution in most buildings was to use a halogen light source that lights immediately to full brightness when activated by a movement sensor. However, halogen lamps when activated use a huge amount of electricity and the expected lamp life is very short. This caused lots of maintenance issues and so customers tended to leave the more energy-efficient lights on all night, rather than deal with the constant lamp failure rates.

As expert electricians in security lighting Sky Electrical now use LED technology in conjunction with passive movement detectors. Primarily, LED lamps use very small amounts of electricity and they light to full brightness in a fraction of a second. What’s more, they need no maintenance as the expected lamp life cycles are beyond 5 years and most have a warranty of 3 years. Maintenance can now be a thing of the past. If you need a survey and a revolution in your security lighting Sky Electrical are the experts whether you are a residential home, business or school. We have fitted these new lights and they are proven to be the ideal solution. Reducing energy, costly maintenance, lighting pollution and keeping your property safe is now affordable and kind to the environment.
