LED Lighting Tips to Keep Your Outdoors Safe
1. Lighting Placement
Install lights with the priority of safety and security.
Main Entrance: A well-lit main entryway provides security. LED downlights and
floodlights are the best choices. Other entry points like gates and back doors
should be illuminated by spotlights, accent lights, or tall downlights to discourage
unauthorized entry.Windows: Windows are additional entry points for burglars. Accent lights deliver
security and functionality to the entire façade.
Pathways: Stairs, retaining walls, or steep slopes should be illuminated to prevent
accidental trips or falls.
Driveways: Overhead street lights or path lights keep vehicles on course in the
dark.
Steps: Stair lights prevent accidental falls, especially during nighttime.
Parking Lots: Parking lots are the most common location of crime. Tall LED
floodlight’s day-like illuminating power keep cars, customers and employees safe.
Other Areas: Patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, gazebos, and trellises.

LEDs are the most common lighting applications used in residences and commercial
establishments. Security LED lights offer practicality and several additional benefits including
energy efficiency, increased lifespans and decreased heat output.
4. Motion Sensors
Most Security LED light systems include motion sensors. Motion sensors detect movement
from up to 10 meters away and will automatically turn on once an object or a person passes
by. After 30 seconds of no movement, LED Lights will power down automatically.
5. Choose Fixtures with Purpose
When installing security LED lights, balance lighting with the correct fixtures. Quality patio
or garden lighting can be achieved by asking the following questions:
What is needed to guide a visitor's path when it's dark?
Is vertical or horizontal lighting required to focus on an item?
Is my vertical lighting in the correct direction?
Does patio lighting provide overall balance?
