Security lighting refers to outdoor lighting systems designed to enhance safety and deter crime. These lights illuminate areas around homes, businesses, and public spaces, making it harder for intruders to hide. They can be activated by motion sensors or set on timers to provide consistent illumination during specific hours. Common types of security lighting include floodlights, spotlights, and pathway lights. Floodlights cover large areas with bright light, while spotlights focus on specific points. Many modern systems use energy-efficient LED bulbs, which not only save electricity but also have a longer lifespan, making them a practical choice for security purposes.
