1. How to Properly Use Security Lighting No one wants to think about it, but your home can be at risk if there isn't good lighting around it. Proper security lighting is important to ensure that your home is safe from intruders, and that you're safe when you come home at night. Here's how you can buy and use the right lighting to keep you and your home safe. Choose Your Placement Carefully Where you place the lights are important, as you want to ensure that there are no blind spots around your home. Place your lights high up, so they can create as wide a pool of light as possible. Check that there's light everywhere you need it, too. It's better to have many less bright lights around, rather than one bright light that's leaving blind spots. Also, think about every area and entrance that someone may use to approach your home. You need to cover your front door but also don't forget your back doors, and any paths around your home. No matter where somebody may be on your property, you want them to be illuminated. Look into Motion Sensor Lights When somebody is approaching your property, they're going to be on edge, waiting for someone or something to notice them. You can take advantage of this by using motion sensor security lights. Lampwise can offer you lots of different options here, so you can pick the lights that go off at the right time. If someone is caught out by a light they weren't expecting, they're more likely to run off as they think they've been spotted. Create A Routine with Your Lights Lots of modern lights now come with timers, which are very helpful if you're often away from home at night. These can be programmed to go on and off whenever you want them to, to ensure that your house looks illuminated and occupied, even when you're away. These lights also work really well when you're on holiday, as your home won't look empty for long periods.

2. Avoid Tampering Most wrongdoers will be scared off by security lighting, but some may be bold enough to try and tamper with them. It's a scary thought, but you can stop them from doing this. When planning the placement of your lights, keep them high up so they can't be accessed easily. Keep the Light Bulbs Maintained It sounds obvious, but your lights aren't going to protect your home if the light bulbs are burned out. Keep a close eye on your lights. If the bulb burns out, replace it as soon as possible. If that light isn't operational once it becomes dark, then it's creating a blind spot that a burglar can take advantage of. Security lighting is essential in keeping your home safe. If you don't have any, now's the time to buy lighting for your home, and install it to keep the wrongdoers away. Good lights will always keep you and your family safe, whether you're home or not. Visit https://www.lampwise.co.uk/outdoor-lighting/security-lights
