Security lighting can be a really simple way to make your home feel safer after dark while also making it easier to get around your property.
At Fairway Electrical Bristol, a straightforward Security Lighting Installation Clifton job starts from our minimum charge of £95 + VAT, with the final cost depending on the number and type of lights you choose, where they're being installed and how much cabling is required. The key is getting the positioning right, so the lighting actually helps rather than simply leaving your garden looking like a football pitch!
Things to consider when having a Security Lighting Installation in Clifton
When we're planning a Security Lighting Installation Clifton, we always look at the property as a whole rather than simply putting a floodlight wherever there's an available wall. Think about the areas around your home that become difficult to see once the sun goes down. Side passages, driveways, garage entrances, gates and darker corners of the garden can all benefit from some carefully positioned lighting. Motion-activated lights can be particularly useful around entrances. Instead of having a light running all night, it switches on when movement is detected. This can immediately draw your attention to someone approaching an area of the property while also giving you plenty of light when you actually need it.
We recently visited a large four-storey end-of-terrace villa on Canynge Road, Clifton where the owners wanted to improve the security lighting around their garden and rear garage access. It's a beautiful, traditional property, and the owners are a professional couple with a real passion for antiques, so they understandably didn't want modern-looking security lights dotted around the garden that would completely clash with the character of their home.
After having a look around the property and chatting through what they wanted, we recommended a few different types of lighting rather than relying on one big floodlight to do everything.
Above the door leading through to the garage, we suggested a motion-activated floodlight. This meant that anyone trying to access the property from the rear would immediately be visible, while the couple would also have a good amount of light when they needed to get into the garage themselves after dark. It's a practical solution that gives them light exactly when and where it's needed.
The garden had a few darker corners around the perimeter where someone could potentially climb the wall and gain access to the property. We recommended adding some additional lighting around these areas, but rather than using harsh security fittings everywhere, we suggested decorative lights that would blend more naturally into the garden. Security lighting doesn't have to mean bright, industrial-looking floodlights covering every inch of your garden. With the right products and positioning, you can improve visibility while still keeping the character and appearance of your home.
