Security & Flood Lighting
Quick answer
Motion-activated security lighting, LED floods, and camera-integrated fixtures installed where they actually deter, corners, approaches, and dark zones. Typically $200–$800 per location.Typical installed cost: $200–$800
Security lighting works when it's positioned by sightlines, not convenience: covering approaches and dark corners, mounted high enough to resist tampering, aimed to expose without blinding your own cameras. We install motion floods, dusk-to-dawn units, and camera-combo fixtures on properly rated exterior circuits.
About Security & Flood Lighting
Deterrence is about certainty of exposure: a would-be intruder who is suddenly lit at 40 feet, on camera, at the property's most likely approach, moves on. That's a positioning problem before it's a fixture problem, corners covering two walls each, approaches lit in the direction of travel, mounting height beyond casual reach.
We install the current generation: LED floods with tight motion zones you can tune (no more triggering on the neighbor's driveway), dusk-to-dawn entry fixtures, and camera-light combos that put illumination exactly where the lens looks.
Placement that actually deters
- House corners, each fixture covers two elevations
- Driveway and walk approaches, aimed along travel
- Side yards and utility areas: the preferred entry paths
- Above garage doors and rear sliders
- 12+ feet high where reach-tampering is a concern
Placement mistakes that make security lighting useless
The classic error is mounting a flood where it's convenient, over the garage, aimed at the driveway slab, and calling the perimeter covered. Intruders don't approach through the brightest spot on the property. Effective coverage thinks like an approach: side gates, the dark strip along the fence, the rear corner the neighbors can't see.
The second error is glare: a flood aimed outward blinds your own cameras and creates deep shadows to hide in. Aim down and across, mount high, and tune motion zones so the light fires on people rather than every passing car. We walk the property at dusk when designing, the darkness shows you exactly what to fix.

Both, by zone: dusk-to-dawn ambient at entries for everyday use, motion floods on approaches and side yards for deterrence. Motion events also cue cameras.
Yes, properly aimed lighting dramatically improves night footage, and combo fixtures integrate light, camera, and motion in one clean install.
Zone aimed too wide, catching street traffic, pets, or heat plumes. Modern fixtures let us mask zones and tune sensitivity so it fires on people, not possums.
