What are Commercial LED Security Lights?

LED Security Lights are split into 2 categories:

• small wall-mounted fixtures that are equipped with a motion sensor that turns the lights on when motion is detected
• large, powerful LED lights intended to provide bright, powerful lighting to large outdoor areas, around buildings, or work as perimeter fence security lights

What are the Benefits of Commercial LED Security Lights?

• You should see an instant reduction in your lighting bill between 50 – 80% over metal-halide and HID lighting.
• An LED light source is a high-quality light source. They work well with CCTV and other camera sources.
• Maintenance will be dramatically reduced. There are no bulbs or ballasts to change.
• Large outdoor areas will be well-lit. The area will feel safe for employees, patrons, and customers.
• LED's lifespan is much longer than metal halide and other HID light sources.
• They can be equipped with controls like motion sensors and photocells.
• They are instant on - instant off. So your parking lot won't be dark after a power outage.
• They are the best replacement for metal halide and high-pressure sodium lights

What is the Best Color Temperature for Outdoor Security Lighting?

We feel that 4000K and 5000K are both good choices for outdoor security lighting. When used in conjunction with security lighting, they provide clear vivid images.

How Does Lighting Improve Security?

It creates bright areas that make it uncomfortable for criminal activity. And it provides light that works in conjunction with security cameras. Studies have shown that there is less crime in well-lit areas than in dark ones.

What is the Brightest LED Outdoor Security Light?

• powerful flood light options that are 1200 Watts producing 180,000 lumens
• high mast lights that are 750 Watts producing 105,000 lumens
• parking lot lights that are 500 Watts producing almost 70,000 lumens

What Wattage LED Security Light Do You Need?

It depends on your lighting requirements. If you know the light levels you need (foot candles), we can create an outdoor security lighting plan for you. Generally speaking, you can replace

• 500 Watt halogen with 80-100 Watt LED
• 400 Watt metal halide with 100-200 Watts LED
• 1000 Watt metal halide with 300-500 Watts LED.

How Long Do LED Security Lights Last?

What are the Main Types of Security Lighting?

There are 4 main types:

• Wall packs for lighting up areas next to buildings
• Shoebox lights are pole-mounted and provide light to large parking spaces
• Flood lights that are wall, pole, or perimeter mounted. This provides pinpoint lighting or large-area flood lighting
• High mast lights mounted on tall poles provide large areas of light coverage.

How Do Commercial LED Security Lights Compare to Mercury Lights?

Mercury is a very old technology. The light quality is poor, and everything appears green. CRI on mercury vapor is 22 whereas LED starts at 70. They are also very inefficient when compared to LEDs. So upgrading mercury lights to LEDs is good.

What's the Difference Between Flood Lights and Traditional Low-Power Security Lights?

Flood lights are a specific type of outdoor lighting that can be used for purposes of security lighting but are not limited exclusively to being a security light. Security lighting, per se, tends to be smaller less powerful lighting that is motion sensor activated.

What's the Best Height to Mount Commercial LED Security Lights?

Higher is better since it allows the light to spread wider to cover more area. So if this is a new installation, we can suggest light locations and heights.

How Easy is it to Install Security Lights?

There is no difference between installing an LED security light and a traditional light. All the same mounting options are available. And there are only 3 wires to connect to the electrical service.
