Sleep Better Knowing You're Protected

You shouldn’t have to wonder if someone’s lurking around your property after dark. Good security lighting changes everything – it stops problems before they start and gives you the confidence that comes with real protection.

When motion sensor security lights kick on, potential intruders move on to easier targets. Your family can walk from the car to the front door without fumbling in the dark. And you’re not burning money on lights that stay on all night when smart LED security lighting only activates when needed.

The right outdoor security lighting setup doesn’t just light up your property – it transforms how safe you feel in your own space. That’s worth something.

Happy Valley Security Lighting Experts

We Know Texas Properties

Hooked up Electric has been handling electrical work in Happy Valley and surrounding Texas communities for years. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to security lighting in our climate.

Every property is different. The lighting setup that works for a corner lot won’t work for a house with a long driveway. We take time to understand your specific security concerns and design lighting that actually addresses them.

You’re dealing with licensed electricians who show up when scheduled and do the work right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises.

Security Lighting Installation Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we walk your property with you to identify vulnerable areas and discuss your security concerns. Dark driveways, blind spots near entrances, and areas where someone could approach undetected – we map it all out.

Next, we design a lighting plan that covers these areas without creating light pollution or running up your electric bill. We’ll show you exactly where each fixture goes and explain why that placement makes sense for your property.

Installation day, we handle all the electrical work to code, test every fixture, and show you how everything operates. You’ll know exactly how your new security lighting system works and what to expect from it.

The whole process typically takes one day for most residential properties, and you’ll have security lighting that actually makes a difference the same night.

LED Security Lighting Features

What You Get With Professional Installation

Your security lighting installation includes motion sensor technology that distinguishes between actual threats and small animals or wind-blown debris. No more lights going off every time a cat walks by, but instant activation when someone approaches your property.

We use LED security flood lights built for Texas weather – they handle heat, storms, and humidity without failing when you need them most. These fixtures last years longer than standard bulbs and use a fraction of the electricity.

Smart controls let you adjust sensitivity, timing, and brightness from your phone. Want the driveway lights to stay on longer? Done. Need the backyard security lighting to be more sensitive? Easy adjustment. You’re in control of how your system responds.

How much does security lighting installation cost in Happy Valley?

Security lighting costs depend on how many fixtures you need and the complexity of your electrical setup. Most residential installations range from $800 to $2,500, but we provide exact pricing after evaluating your property. Factors that affect cost include the number of lights, distance from your electrical panel, and whether you want smart controls or basic motion sensors. We give you a clear quote upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Quality motion sensors can be adjusted to ignore small animals while still detecting people. We install sensors with customizable sensitivity settings and detection zones, so you’re not dealing with lights that activate every time a squirrel runs by. The key is proper placement and calibration – something we handle during installation. Most customers find the right balance where their lights respond to actual security concerns without constant false alarms.
LED security lights typically last 15-20 years with normal use, compared to 1-2 years for traditional incandescent bulbs. They also use about 75% less electricity, which adds up to significant savings on your electric bill. The upfront cost is higher, but you’re not constantly replacing bulbs or dealing with fixtures that burn out when you need them most. In Texas heat, LEDs hold up much better than standard bulbs that can fail quickly in extreme temperatures.
Yes, we handle all the electrical work needed for security lighting installation, including running new circuits from your panel to outdoor locations. This involves pulling permits and ensuring everything meets local electrical codes. The process takes a bit longer than connecting to existing outlets, but it’s often necessary to get proper coverage of your property. We’ll evaluate your electrical panel capacity and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.
Security flood lights cast a wide, bright beam that illuminates large areas like driveways, backyards, or building perimeters. Regular security lights typically provide more focused illumination for specific areas like doorways or walkways. Flood lights are better for general property security and deterring intruders, while focused lights work well for navigation and accent security. Most effective security lighting systems use a combination of both types strategically placed around your property.
Standard smart security lights won’t work during power outages unless you have backup power like a generator or battery system. However, we can install security lights with built-in battery backup that will operate for several hours during outages. Solar-powered security lights are another option that works independently of your home’s electrical system. The best solution depends on your specific security needs and how often your area experiences power interruptions.
