What is Lighting Design for Perimeter Fence and Security?

Lighting design for perimeter security is a form of security lighting where lights are installed at the perimeter of a large outdoor space. It either lights up the perimeter area or the area that’s nearest the perimeter. The lights are either pointed along the fence line, pointing inwards or outwards. It’s an integral part of any security system designed to keep areas safe.

What are the Typical Lighting Standards for Perimeter Security?

There is no standard, per se. There may be requirements based on location. They need to work with electronic surveillance systems like cameras and video recorders.

What are Recommended Foot Candles for Perimeter Security System and Fences?

High Security Areas (Prisons – for example) 5 fc
Low Security Areas 1-2 fc

Does Perimeter Fence Lighting Design Differ from Perimeter Security Lighting Design?

These are two ways of saying the same thing. One difference is if the area is using security cameras. Using security cameras may have a higher foot candle requirement.

How Do You Calculate the Ideal Perimeter Security Layout?

Creating a lighting plan is a good first step. The plan allows you to create a physical layout of the outdoor space. Then you can add lights and poles around the perimeter in specific locations. The plan calculates foot candle readings along the perimeter to meet your required light levels.

Are LED Lights Good for Perimeter and Security Fence Lighting?

They are very good actually. They provide long-lasting, high-quality light and work well with security cameras. They require very little maintenance.

What is the Difference Between a Lighting Design Calculator and a Lighting Plan?

Use a calculator if:

  • You are looking for a free, online tool to quickly calculate the number of fixtures you need
  • You want quick, simple, and immediate results
  • You are looking for a count of light fixtures needed based on a specific budget
  • You need a rough estimate on quantity and layout/configuration does not matter
  • There is no need to include specific light balance and shadows in your documentation

Use a lighting plan layout if:

  • You would like a professional lighting plan engineer to review your requirements
  • You need a calculated lighting plan that shows foot candle readings
  • You need to see how balanced the light levels are, and you care about reducing shadows
  • You want to show aiming angles, and light positions in scale within your indoor or outdoor area
  • You need professional assurance that the lights you buy will be the right choice
