Outdoor Lights - Utility
Always select a lighting alternative that will provide the right amount of
lighting needed for an area. Using motion-activated lighting will ensure that
front and rear entrances to your home are secure, will welcome guests and
startle intruders. For added security, choose a motion light with an indoor
alarm module so that you know what's going on outside.
Choose a motion detector light with a sensor that best suits your needs: A
sensor with a broad range of coverage would be better suited to a yard than to
an entrance. Since motion detectors and utility lighting come in a wide variety
of shapes and sizes, it's easy to choose fixtures that are well suited for your
home.
Remember, heat from light bulbs can cause false triggering of motion detector
lighting, so be sure not to position them too close to the motion detector.
Trees, swimming pools, and other reflective surfaces can also cause false
triggering.
For complete protection, mount your lights so that the coverage areas overlap.
For safety and security, always light up steps, driveways, walkways, and yards
with floodlighting. Also, consider using quartz halogen motion lighting or
floodlighting to save energy.
Always be sure to read all instruction manuals carefully before attempting
installation of any light fixture. For maximum safety always turn off the power
before servicing your light fixtures.
