Sleep Better Knowing Your Property's Protected

Dark corners and blind spots around your property are basically invitations for trouble. You know those areas where you can barely see your hand in front of your face at night. Those are exactly where problems start.

Professional security lighting changes everything. Motion sensor lights catch movement before you even know someone’s there. LED flood lights eliminate those dark hiding spots completely. Your driveway, backyard, and entry points become visible, well-lit areas that most intruders will avoid entirely.

The difference isn’t just about catching bad guys. It’s about preventing incidents before they happen. When your property is properly lit, you’re not just protecting your stuff—you’re protecting your peace of mind.

Security Lighting Installation Process

Here's How We Light Things Up

First, we walk your property with you. We’re looking for those problem areas—dark corners, blind spots, places where someone could approach without being seen. You know your property better than anyone, so we want to hear about the spots that make you uncomfortable at night.

Next, we design a lighting plan that makes sense for your space and your budget. We’re not trying to light up the whole neighborhood. We’re strategically placing lights where they’ll do the most good. Motion sensors for high-traffic areas, flood lights for broad coverage, and pathway lighting for safety.

Installation day, we handle all the electrical work. Running new circuits if needed, mounting fixtures properly, and making sure everything’s wired to code. We test every light, adjust the sensors, and show you how everything works before we pack up.

LED Security Light Installation

What You Get With Our Installation

We use LED security lights because they last longer and use less electricity than the old halogen floods. Motion sensors are adjustable—you can set them to catch a person walking by without triggering every time a cat runs through the yard.

For Abilene properties, we typically recommend a combination approach. Flood lights for broad area coverage, motion sensor lights for specific zones, and pathway lighting for safety. Every property is different, but most homes need 3-5 strategically placed fixtures to eliminate the major blind spots.

All our installations include proper weatherproofing and surge protection. Texas storms are no joke, and your security lighting needs to work when the weather gets nasty. We also handle any necessary electrical upgrades to support your new lighting system safely.

How much does security lighting installation cost in Abilene?

Most residential security lighting installations in Abilene 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 LED motion sensor lights typically costs around $1200-1800. If your electrical panel needs upgrading or we’re running new circuits to reach distant areas of your property, that adds to the cost. We always give you a detailed estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The investment usually pays for itself pretty quickly through deterrence and energy savings from LED efficiency.

What's the best type of security lighting for Texas weather?

LED flood lights and motion sensor lights hold up best in Texas heat and storms. We use fixtures rated for outdoor use with proper weatherproofing and surge protection. Halogen lights burn out faster in our climate and use way more electricity. LED lights last 15-20 years typically, even with our temperature swings and occasional hail. Motion sensors are great because they’re not running constantly, which extends their life. We also make sure all wiring is properly protected and grounded to handle power surges from storms. The key is using commercial-grade fixtures designed for harsh weather conditions.

Will motion sensor lights trigger from animals and wind?

Good motion sensors can be adjusted to minimize false triggers while still catching actual intruders. We set the sensitivity and range based on your specific situation. Most quality sensors can distinguish between a person and a small animal based on heat signature and movement pattern. We typically set them to trigger on objects larger than a cat but smaller than a person. Wind doesn’t usually trigger them unless it’s moving something large like a tree branch. During installation, we test and adjust each sensor to find the sweet spot for your property. You want them sensitive enough to catch someone approaching but not so sensitive they’re lighting up all night.

How long does security lighting installation take?

Most residential security lighting installations take 4-8 hours, depending on how many fixtures you’re installing and whether we need to run new electrical circuits. If we’re just mounting lights and connecting to existing electrical, it’s usually a half-day job. If we’re running new circuits from your electrical panel to reach areas without existing power, that takes longer. Commercial installations or complex residential setups might take a full day or two. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote your job. Weather can delay outdoor electrical work, but once we start, we finish the job completely before we leave.

Do you provide warranties on security lighting installation?

Yes, we warranty our installation work for one year, and the LED fixtures typically come with manufacturer warranties of 3-5 years. If something goes wrong with our wiring or installation within the first year, we fix it at no charge. The LED lights themselves are warrantied by the manufacturer for defects. Most quality LED security lights last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. We also provide ongoing service if you need adjustments to motion sensor settings or want to add additional lights later. Our goal is a security lighting system that works reliably for years without issues.

Can you install security lighting without running new electrical circuits?

Sometimes, but it depends on your existing electrical setup and where you need the lights. If you have outdoor outlets or existing light fixtures near where you want security lighting, we can often work with that. However, most effective security lighting requires lights in specific locations for maximum coverage, which usually means running new circuits. We can also tie into existing circuits if they have enough capacity and are properly protected. During our initial assessment, we’ll identify what electrical work is needed and give you options. Sometimes we can use a combination approach—some lights on existing circuits and new circuits for lights in remote areas.
