One added safety measure that can go a long way is proper exterior lighting. Not only does a well-lit property deter burglars from targeting your home, it also offers you visibility and comfort when you return home in the dark or when friends and family come to visit.
When it comes to exterior lighting, there are 4 basic types:
- Flood lighting gives you the most coverage and brightness for your exterior space. If you live in a neighborhood, you probably want to consider installing flood lights that have a lower brightness level so as not to disturb your neighbors.
- Landscape lights encompass a wide scope of types of lighting. For example, landscape lighting can be installed in the ground and used to light a path or highlight trees and bushes. Landscape lights also include lanterns or scones that may be placed on your porch or on a column.
- Motion sensor lighting is great if you only want lighting to be present temporarily. As their name implies, motion sensor lights turn on when they detect motion nearby. Then, after an allotted amount of time, they turn off again.
- Spotlights are a type of lighting that offers focused attention on particular areas. These are ideal to place near areas that may be hard to see or create shadows, such as trees and statues.
