Types of Commercial Security Lighting

There are many options available to you when planning a new or upgraded commercial security lighting installation at your Hereford premises. Often an experienced electrician will recommend a mixture of security lighting styles are used to provide optimum levels of protection for your property. The main security lighting options used in commercial settings are:

• LED Security Lights - LED security lights are the most popular choice for most commercial premises. Combining excellent levels of brightness with low running costs and high levels of energy efficiency, they are a lighting choice that is hard to beat. Despite a higher initial cost, LED security lighting pays for itself in the reduction in your energy bills, long lifespan of the bulb, and low maintenance costs.
• Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) Security Lights – PIR lights provide an effective deterrent as a security lighting option for commercial premises. These clever lights illuminate when they detect movement nearby, startling any intruder and alerting people to their presence. PIR lights work particularly well on entrances and alleyways which could otherwise provide an easy point of entry. 
• Solar Security Lights – Solar powered security lights provide an economical option for security lighting in less high-risk areas of your property. They make a great choice for wall or perimeter lighting and for powering additional floodlights.

Your commercial security lighting electrician will advise you on the best lighting to use at your Hereford property. They will look at your premises and the surrounding area to design a security lighting system that is effective and keeps you secure.

Commercial Security Lighting Benefits 

Installing effective commercial security lighting at your Hereford property brings a host of benefits. 

• Crime Deterrence – Well-lit buildings are less likely to be targeted by either burglars or vandals. Adding security lighting to the surrounding area, i.e. the car park, further reduces the likelihood of unwanted visitors. 
• Increased Safety – Good commercial security lighting not only makes your property safer from intruders but can make it safer for your employees to navigate. Well illuminated walkways and entrances will make accidents less likely and help to make people feel safer in their surroundings.
• Peace Of Mind – Knowing that your property is well lit will provide you with peace of mind that your business is well protected. 
• Complement Other Security Measures – If your property has CCTV installed then well installed security lighting will help to ensure that it captures images effectively. Poor lighting will result in poor quality footage.
• Increase Kerb Appeal – Whilst the key function of security lighting is to deter the attention of unwanted guests, it can also be used to attract the attention of potential customers. Well-lit and well-maintained commercial premises send a positive message to those viewing your business with an eye to working together.
