Professional Security Lighting Installation

Sleep Better Knowing Your Property Is Protected

You’ll finally have that peace of mind you’ve been missing. No more wondering if someone’s lurking around your barn or if your family can safely make it from the car to the front door after dark.

The right security lighting setup eliminates those blind spots where trouble hides. Motion sensors catch movement before you even know it’s there, flooding problem areas with bright LED light that sends intruders looking for easier targets.

Your electricity bill won’t spike either. These aren’t the old halogen floods that burned through power and bulbs. Modern LED security lights use a fraction of the energy and last for years, not months.

Security Lighting Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens Start to Finish

First, we walk your property together and identify the areas that need coverage. Dark driveways, blind corners around buildings, entry points – anywhere you’re concerned about visibility or security.

Next, we map out the electrical requirements and fixture placement. This includes checking your existing electrical capacity and determining if any new circuits are needed. We handle all the technical details and any required permits.

Installation day, we mount the fixtures, run the wiring, and set up the motion sensors with the right sensitivity and coverage patterns for your specific needs. Then we test everything to make sure it’s working correctly and show you how to adjust settings if needed.

How much does security lighting installation cost in Cross Plains?

Installation costs depend on how many fixtures you need and the complexity of running new electrical circuits. A basic setup with 2-3 motion-activated LED floods typically runs $800-1,500 including materials and labor. Larger properties with multiple zones or buildings will cost more. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific property and security needs, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.
Yes, but they need to be set up correctly for rural properties. We adjust the sensitivity and positioning to minimize false triggers from cattle, deer, or other animals while still detecting human-sized movement. The key is proper placement height and angle, plus using sensors with adjustable range settings. We’ve installed plenty of systems on working ranches and know how to balance security coverage with practical daily operations around animals.
Quality LED security lights typically last 10-15 years with normal use, compared to 1-2 years for halogen floods. They also use about 75% less electricity while producing the same amount of light. The upfront cost is higher, but you’ll save money long-term through lower electric bills and not having to replace bulbs constantly. Most of our LED installations pay for themselves within 3-4 years just through energy savings alone.
Usually yes, depending on your current electrical setup. Many installations can tie into existing outdoor circuits or junction boxes. If your electrical panel has capacity, we can often add a dedicated circuit for security lighting without major rewiring throughout the house. During the initial assessment, we evaluate your electrical system and explain what’s needed. Sometimes creative routing through attics, crawl spaces, or along exterior walls keeps the project simple and affordable.
In most cases, basic security lighting installations don’t require permits in Cross Plains, but adding new electrical circuits typically does. We handle all permit requirements and inspections when needed, so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork or county offices. The permit costs are included in our upfront pricing, and we make sure everything meets local electrical codes. It’s better to do it right the first time than have problems later.
We warranty our installation work and will come back to fix any problems with the wiring or setup at no charge. LED fixtures themselves typically come with manufacturer warranties of 5-10 years. If you have issues, call us first – many problems are simple adjustments to motion sensor settings or cleaning fixtures that have collected dust or spider webs. We provide ongoing support because we want your security lighting system working reliably for years to come.
