Frequently Asked Questions — Security Lighting
How many security lights do I need?
It depends on your property size and layout. As a minimum, we recommend lights at all entry points — front gate, garage, front door, side gates, and back door. We assess your property and recommend the optimal number and placement.
Can you connect security lights to my existing circuits?
In many cases, yes — if the existing circuit has sufficient capacity. For multiple new lights, we typically install a dedicated outdoor lighting circuit from your DB board for clean, reliable protection.
What is the best security light for a South African home?
A quality PIR-activated LED floodlight (100W equivalent, ≥5000 lumens) at key points combined with dusk-to-dawn perimeter lights provides excellent deterrence and visibility. We recommend specific products based on your property.
Can security lights be linked to an alarm system?
Yes — we can wire security lights to be triggered by your alarm system's outputs, or integrate with smart home systems. We work with your alarm installer to ensure compatibility.
Do outdoor lights need special weatherproof wiring?
Yes — all outdoor electrical wiring must use weatherproof methods: UV-resistant conduit, armoured cable, or approved outdoor cable. Standard indoor cable used outdoors degrades quickly and is a safety and compliance issue.
