Security Lighting Installation in Oxford

Make your property safer after dark with security lighting installation in Oxford. We fit motion sensor floodlights, dusk to dawn lights and lighting for business premises.

Motion Sensor or Dusk to Dawn?

Motion sensor lights switch on when someone approaches, which can put off an intruder and lights your path home. Dusk to dawn lights come on at night and stay on at a lower level. Some fittings do both. We help you choose the type that suits each part of your property.

Getting the Position Right

A security light works best mounted high enough to be out of easy reach, aimed at doors, gates and paths. We set the sensor range so it picks up people but not every passing car or cat. We also angle the beam to avoid shining into neighbours' windows.

Security Lighting for Businesses

Car parks, yards, loading areas and shop fronts need good lighting to keep staff and stock safe. We fit LED floodlights, bulkhead lights and timed or sensor controls for business premises. Lights can be set to come on at closing time and stay on until morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should security lights go on my Oxford home?

The best spots are above the front and back doors, along side passages, over the driveway and near any garden gate. These are the places people use most after dark and where an intruder would try to get in. We look at your property and suggest positions that cover each entrance.

Do security lights use a lot of electricity in Oxford homes?

No. Modern LED security lights use very little power, and motion sensor lights are only on for short periods. A dusk to dawn LED light left on all night still uses far less than an old halogen floodlight. For most homes, the running cost is very low.

Can you fix a security light that keeps coming on at night in Oxford?

Yes. Lights that trigger too often usually have the sensor range set too wide, are pointing at a road, or are picking up moving branches. We adjust the sensor, angle and timer settings. If the sensor itself is faulty, we replace the fitting with a more reliable one.
