5 Benefits of Security Lighting

01 Nov 5 Benefits of Security Lighting

Kingsport, TN

Our home is the biggest financial, and perhaps emotional, investment we will make in life. You want to protect your investment, and security lighting is certainly one way to make your home safer from intruders, while also enhancing your home’s overall curb appeal as the darkness of night settles on your neighborhood. Read on to learn how your licensed lighting technicians in Kingsport at Thompson Electrical Service can help to install and maintain a security lighting solution that can bring your family true peace of mind for years to come.

5 advantages to keeping your outdoor space illuminated

1. Deterrent from break-ins. Criminals often scope out a property before they make their move. They want to make sure they can get in, commit their crime in peace and get out with as little danger of bodily harm, or of being detected, as possible. If your home is illuminated with bright, well-placed lights that span your property, the more likely that any would-be thieves choose to take their chances elsewhere. Also, a well-lit space makes it easier for trusted neighbors to keep an eye on your home for you when you’re not there.
2. Personal safety. Security lights help to provide a clear view of steps and walkways at night, meaning there is far less opportunity for unfortunate accidents to happen – whether it be to you, a family member or someone coming to visit. A nasty trip over a nearby hose, or a misstep onto a prone, sharp gardening tool can be avoided completely if your space is lit well and evenly.
3. Keeps critters away. If your security lighting system is motion-activated, that will come in handy for more than just human intruders. It can scare away the racoons or skunks who would otherwise enjoy a buffet feasting on the contents of your trash can or the vegetable garden as the main course, and then using your other outdoor belongings as post-meal play objects.
4. Financial benefits. Quality security lights are attractive to a potential homebuyer. Professionally installed outdoor lighting in Bristol adds to the value of your home should you decide to ever put your home on the market. Your home insurance premiums also are likely to go down because homes with security lighting systems are less tempting to burglars or vandals.
5. More time for fun outdoors. If you’re raising a family, your young ones can continue their big neighborhood game without interruption or postponement. Also, the great lighting adds to your outdoor optics for entertaining friends or family with barbeques or bonfires that carry well into the evening.
