Sleep Better Knowing You're Protected

You shouldn’t have to wonder what’s happening in your yard at 2 AM. Good security lighting changes everything about how safe your property feels after dark.

When motion sensors catch movement before you even know someone’s there, that’s peace of mind you can’t put a price on. Your driveway, backyard, and side yards stay visible all night long. No more fumbling with keys in the dark or worrying about blind spots around your building.

The right lighting setup doesn’t just make you feel safer – it actually makes your property safer. Most break-ins happen under cover of darkness, and criminals avoid well-lit areas. Your neighbors will notice the difference too.

Security Lighting Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we walk your property with you and figure out where you actually need light. Not every corner needs a flood light, and not every motion sensor should trigger from the neighbor’s cat. We map out the coverage that makes sense for your specific layout.

Next, we handle the electrical work. Running new circuits, installing proper switches, and making sure everything’s up to code. This isn’t DIY territory – one mistake with outdoor electrical can be dangerous and expensive to fix later.

Then we mount and aim your lights. Motion sensors get calibrated so they catch what matters without going off constantly. Flood lights get positioned to eliminate dark spots without blinding you when you pull into your driveway. Everything gets tested before we leave.

LED Security Lighting Options

What You Actually Get

Your security lighting installation includes LED flood lights that’ll run for years without burning out. Motion sensors that actually work in Texas heat and humidity. And electrical work that passes inspection every time.

We install everything from basic motion-activated lights for residential driveways to comprehensive commercial security lighting systems. Dusk-to-dawn fixtures for continuous coverage. Adjustable motion sensors for high-traffic areas. Timer controls for lights you want on a schedule.

Most Elmdale properties need 3-6 fixtures to get proper coverage. We use commercial-grade LED lights that put out serious lumens without running up your electric bill. Everything gets wired through proper outdoor-rated circuits with GFCI protection.

How much does security lighting installation cost in Elmdale?

Most residential security lighting projects in Elmdale run between $800-2500, depending on how many fixtures you need and whether we’re running new electrical circuits. A basic setup with 3-4 motion-activated LED flood lights typically costs around $1200-1800 including installation. Commercial properties or homes that need extensive electrical work will cost more. We give you an exact price upfront after looking at your property – no surprises or hourly billing that gets out of hand.

What type of security lights work best for Texas weather?

LED flood lights with motion sensors are your best bet for Texas. They handle the heat better than traditional bulbs, last 10-15 years, and use way less electricity. We install fixtures rated for outdoor use that won’t fail when summer temperatures hit 100+ degrees. Motion sensors need to be calibrated for Texas conditions too – cheap ones give false triggers from heat shimmer or small animals. The fixtures we use are specifically designed for hot, humid climates and actually work reliably year-round.

Do motion sensor lights really deter break-ins and theft?

Yes, when they’re installed correctly. Most burglars avoid well-lit properties because they don’t want to be seen or identified. Motion-activated lights are especially effective because they startle intruders and alert you that someone’s on your property. The key is having good coverage without blind spots and sensors that actually trigger when they should. Poorly installed security lighting with gaps in coverage or motion sensors that don’t work properly won’t help much. That’s why professional installation matters for security applications.

How long does security lighting installation take?

Most residential security lighting installations take 4-8 hours depending on how many fixtures you’re adding and whether we need to run new electrical circuits. If your property already has outdoor outlets in the right spots, installation goes faster. Properties that need new circuits run from the electrical panel will take longer. Commercial installations or complex residential setups can take a full day or more. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote your project so you know what to expect.

Will security lights increase my electricity bill significantly?

Not with LED fixtures. A typical LED security flood light uses about 20-30 watts compared to 150+ watts for old halogen flood lights. Motion-activated lights only run when triggered, so they’re not on all night. Even dusk-to-dawn LED fixtures usually add less than $10-15 per month to your electric bill. The energy savings compared to older lighting technology is dramatic. Most customers are surprised how little their LED security lighting actually costs to operate, especially considering the peace of mind you get.

Do you handle permits and electrical inspections for security lighting?

Yes, we handle all the permit and inspection requirements for security lighting installations in Elmdale. Any electrical work that involves new circuits or major additions needs to be permitted and inspected. We pull the permits, do the work to code, and schedule the inspection. You don’t have to deal with the city or worry about whether the work will pass. Our installations meet or exceed local electrical codes because we do this work regularly and know exactly what inspectors are looking for.
