Security lighting for commercial properties is essential in the modern day. Carmichael Electrical Services are experienced commercial electricians in Dorset, working with a number of businesses such as ASDA opticians and RNLI.
What is included in security lighting?
Security lighting is typically considered to protect commercial premises and occupants within. Security lighting such as motion sensor lighting is one of the most popular services amongst our business clientele. Motion sensor lighting uses technology referred to as PIR or Passive Infrared lighting. They work when sensors in the lighting detect infrared given off warm objects whilst they move.
When we carry out an initial site survey for security lighting installation, we consider factors such as where the best location for installation is, the various entry and exit points surrounding the premises in Dorset as well whether you want to consider pairing lighting with CCTV technology.
Why do I need security lighting for commercial properties?
Security lighting is an effective way to improve security at your commercial business in Dorset. If PIR motion sensor lights are used, intruders are often deterred by bright illumination on a dark night. Often leaving the site to prevent unwanted attention from neighbouring properties.
Increased illumination from security lighting will benefit CCTV systems, ensuring images captured are clear making it easier to identify individuals.
In our experience, employees and customers do feel comfortable knowing their surroundings are well protected. This is particularly important if you have a car park on site as you want a well lit pathway for staff leaving or entering the building, especially staff who arrive early and work late into the night.
Security lighting also adds an element of safety by preventing accidents such as trips and falls, more common in the dark or areas with poor visibility. Brightly lit premises and entry points are often more inviting to customers and staff too.
Why security lighting for commercial properties is a good investment.
Protecting your business premises from damage or intruders will prevent any downtime. Having to close your business whilst law enforcement investigates or while any repair work is conducted will lead to loss of business operations and sales.
Professional security lighting installation by Carmichael Electrical Services guarantees correct placement of PIR lighting, creating maximum coverage.
So yes, security lighting is a great investment as by demonstrating your commitment to employee safety and security, you could be offered lower insurance premiums when it comes to liability and business insurances.
