The Service
What Is Security Lighting?
Security lighting covers motion-activated (PIR) floodlights, dusk-to-dawn lights, and sensor lights fitted to the exterior of a property to improve safety and deter intruders.
Effective security lighting needs the right lights in the right places — covering entrances, pathways and dark corners — with sensors set to avoid nuisance triggering from passing traffic or wildlife.

What's Typically Involved
- Advice on the right lights and sensor positions for your property
- Routing of weatherproof, RCD-protected cable
- Installation of PIR or dusk-to-dawn fittings
- Setting and aiming sensors to minimise nuisance triggers

Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
Security lighting is one of the most effective deterrents against opportunistic crime. Bright, well-placed lights remove the cover of darkness that intruders rely on.
Properly installed, weatherproof, RCD-protected fittings avoid the water-ingress failures that plague cheap, poorly fitted security lights.
Costs & Pricing
Costs & What Affects Pricing
Pricing for electrical work depends on the job. Here are the factors that typically affect the cost of this service.
- The number and type of lights (LED flood, PIR, dusk-to-dawn)
- The mounting height and access (high fittings need ladders or towers)
- The cable run length and routing
- Whether a new circuit or existing supply is used
- Whether smart or linked-camera integration is included
A single security light is usually quick to fit; several or high-mounted lights cost more. Tell us about your property and we can help.
