Hire an Electrician for Security Lighting Installation

Outdoor lighting has to withstand conditions that indoor fixtures don't, including moisture, temperature changes, and exposure to the elements. Security lights also need reliable wiring and proper placement to provide useful coverage without creating unnecessary dark spots or poorly directed light.


Hiring an outdoor lighting electrician means the fixtures, wiring, switches, sensors, and electrical connections can be installed with these conditions in mind. If you're adding security lights where no existing fixture is available, GoodFellas Electric can also handle the new wiring and electrical connections needed to power the system.

Where Should You Add Outdoor Security Lighting?

Strategic placement can make security lighting more useful throughout your property. While every home is different, these four areas are often good places to consider adding exterior lighting.

Outdoor Living Areas

Frequently Asked Security Lighting Questions

  • What type of security lighting is best for a home?

    The best option depends on the area you want to illuminate and how you want the lights to operate. Motion sensor lighting, LED security lighting, and strategically placed flood lights are common options for residential properties.

  • Where should motion sensor lights be installed?

    Motion sensor lighting is often useful near entrances, garages, driveways, walkways, side yards, and backyards. Placement should provide useful coverage while allowing the sensor to detect movement in the intended area.

  • Can you install security lighting where there isn't an existing light fixture?

    Yes. New security light installation may require additional wiring, an electrical box, switches, or other electrical work. An electrician can evaluate the location and determine what is needed to add the new fixture.

  • Is LED lighting a good option for outdoor security lights?

    Yes. LED security lighting is a popular choice because it provides strong illumination while using less energy than many traditional lighting options. LED fixtures are also available in a variety of brightness levels and styles for outdoor applications.

  • Can you replace my existing outdoor security lights?

    Yes. GoodFellas Electric can replace outdated, damaged, or poorly performing exterior fixtures with new security lighting. We can also evaluate the existing electrical connections during the replacement.
