Outdoor Lighting With PIR - What Does It Mean?
The obvious key to choosing
security lights for your
property is that first
word, security. This type of
lighting must serve an
important and practical
purpose - illuminating specific
areas around homes and
outdoor spaces, such as the
garden.  Property owners
should consider some of the
important factors in security
lights, such as a
movement
sensor to turn the
lights on
automatically. Passive
infrared (PIR) is part of this
technology. The right
combination of light
placement and motion
sensors can provide the
utmost in safety and security
for the homeowner.
With all of this in mind, it?s
obvious that planning a
system of security lights is
essential. Think of this lighting
as a way to prevent intrusions
and discourage unwanted
visitors. Identify the locations
that must be illuminated and
protected with light. This type
of illumination must be
carefully directed to avoid
glare and obstruction of the
property owners vision. If
there is also a camera system
and alarm system on the
property, lights should be
coordinated to work with
these other pieces in a
seamless fashion.
When you have taken all of
the safety factors into
consideration and have
covered the practical side of
security lights you should
devote some time to design
and appearance of this
outside lighting.  It?s possible
to provide excellent lighting
with attractive fixtures.
Property owners may also
choose to locate larger light
fixtures behind shrubbery,
trees or other objects to
maintain the appeal of the
property. Careful planning is
a key to successful use of
security lights.
