Outdoor Security Lighting in Plymouth, MA
Illuminate Your Property. Protect What Matters.
As far as keeping your property safe, outdoor security lighting is one of the best yet most affordable deterrents against crime. For over 25 years, Nipper Electric has assisted families and business owners in Plymouth and the South Shore to enhance their security through well-planned, professionally installed lighting systems.
Our electricians not only have the expertise necessary to design and install an outdoor security lighting system, but can also repair and upgrade existing lighting systems so they are wholly customized to exactly what you are looking for. Whether it’s flood lights for a commercial lot, motion-sensor lights for a residence, or any combination of camera technology with lights, we can complete the project.
Why Outdoor Lighting Matters
Exterior lighting does much more than enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property. It creates a safer environment for everyone who visits or resides there. Good lighting outdoors reduces the chances of tripping and falling, keeps intruders away, and makes it easy to see around vulnerable areas, like entryways, garages, and even side yards.
Motion sensor lights, for instance, will inform you of undesired entry while conserving energy when nobody is in the room. Your family, employees, and valuable property must be secured, and a sound lighting system is the first line of defense. Often, installing or upgrading security lighting can reduce insurance premiums.
Outdoor Lighting Options for Homes & Businesses
No two properties are the same, and neither are their lighting needs. Some of the residential and commercial security lighting solutions that Nipper Electric professionally installs include motion-sensor lights—infrared or sonic—and flood lights for large coverage areas, as well as LED and solar-powered options. Other offerings include security lighting with cameras built into the light fixture itself, plus low-voltage pathway and landscape lighting, even smart home-compatible exterior lights.
An assessment of your property’s layout and recommendations for strategic placements of fixtures that cover a maximum area with minimum shadows will keep the intruder away from emphasized features of your home or business.
Motion Sensor Technology: Smarter Than Ever
Today’s motion detectors are much better than the old-fashioned models of years ago. Some modern choices include:
- Passive infrared sensors (PIR) pick up on the body heat of people or animals and turn on when any movement is noticed.
- Active infrared sensors use a beam of light that gets broken to start the light.
- Sonic finders notice changes in high sound waves (active) or listen for noises in the area (passive).
- Motion-activated cameras allow lighting to work alongside video for real-time alerts and extra peace of mind.
Our electricians will help you choose the right sensor type and assist in setting adjustments for sensitivity, duration, and range so that your lights work exactly when and where you want them to.
Choosing the Right Security Light Bulbs
Your chosen bulb will determine how well your home is lit and how much you pay in the energy bill. We’ll look for the best balance between brightness, efficiency, and life:
- LED Bulbs: They are long-lived and low-maintenance and work well under any weather conditions. They are more expensive to buy at first, but they are very power-efficient and therefore cheap in the long run.
- CFL Bulbs: Cheaper to maintain, but longer warm-up times and not dependable in very cold temperatures.
- Solar Lights: Great for energy savings, provided there is ample sun exposure. Modern photovoltaic technology makes them an even better investment.
Don’t use super-bright lights that produce harsh shadows—our staff can help you choose fixtures that balance visibility and coverage without blasting you or your neighbors.
