How Outdoor Lighting Protects Your Home

Outdoor lighting, or more specifically, security lighting, offers light around the perimeter of your home to stop intruders and create safety for family and friends.

Your home is not only your greatest investment, but it’s also a sanctuary. A place where your family can feel safe and secure from the outside world. Break-ins leave families shaken and uneasy. Yet, criminals are unavoidable as they are in every city and suburb across the United States. Respectable neighborhoods can fall victim to thieves and vandals alike, and while an alarm system is a wonderful start, it’s still a failsafe when the intruder has already barged into your home. But there is something that can prevent your home from ever becoming a target: outdoor lighting.

You might be asking yourself, ‘how does outdoor lighting prevent break-ins?’

1. Burglars don’t intend on being caught or spotted, so having fewer blind spots and places for criminals to hide in is highly advantageous.
2. Homes with outdoor security lighting are most likely to be discounted as easy targets and therefore, will not be chosen to be broken into.
3. With your property illuminated, you’ll be able to easily see any unwanted trespassers before they enter. This will give you peace of mind in the place that should feel the safest to you and your family.

After a security system and outdoor lighting, there are a few other things that can help protect your home. Landscaping is one; thorny bushes around windows will make it much more difficult to approach them. Even without an alarm, you can post a sticker or sign from an alarm company to make criminals think twice. Cameras and home surveillance systems also are effective in reducing home crime.
