&lt;div&gt;Adding security lighting is the number one step homeowners can take to protect their property from unwanted intruders.

&lt;br /&gt;
Use many smaller lights rather than fewer, more powerful lights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Big, powerful flood lights are good for open spaces, but can sometimes leave shadows if there are obstacles on your property like buildings and trees. Using a combination of LED flood lights, area lights and wall packs will reduce shadows and blind spots that intruders can use to hide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep lights high and out of reach&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's important to make it difficult for burglars to tamper with your security system. Many thieves will plan heists for several weeks and finding a way to disable security lights is often a top priority. Even the best security lighting can be rendered useless if an intruder is able to incapacitate the system. Keeping lights high and out of reach will make it difficult for your system to be tampered with. Placing lights high will also soften the light for a pleasant look and increased coverage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use Motion Detector Lights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Motion detector lights are an effective way to scare off intruders. Burglars will be on edge during a robbery and having a light flick on as they walk by is often times enough to scare them away. A good combination of [https://www.cirruslighting.co.uk/ LED spotlights] and motion detector lights will work to keep intruders off of your property and scare away those who choose to enter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Focus on Entrances and Exits&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most criminals seek out targets that can be accessed at night without being seen. Ensuring excellent light coverage at all entrances and exits will deter criminals from planning a robbery at your property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why LED?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Efficiency: [https://www.cirruslighting.co.uk/ LED lights] offer exceptional efficiency and are more cost-effective in the long run. An [https://www.cirruslighting.co.uk/ LED light fixture] will use 90% less electricity than an equivalent incandescent.

&lt;br /&gt;
Longevity: A quality LED bulb can have a useful life of 25,000 hours or more. This is more than 25 times long than traditional light bulbs. Safety: LEDs run cooler than conventional light sources and are therefore less of a fire hazard. Durability: LEDs lack filaments or glass enclosures, making them more durable than traditional alternatives. Same colors as traditional bulbs: LEDs can achieve the same colors as traditional bulbs. Use the Kelvin temperature color scale below to help identify the hue a bulb will produce.&lt;br /&gt;
