Frequent questions
Questions specific to outdoor & security lighting.
Where should security lights be aimed?+
They should illuminate approaches and activity areas while limiting glare into windows, neighboring property, and drivers’ sightlines.
Can existing exterior fixtures be replaced?+
Yes. The mounting box, weather sealing, wiring condition, fixture rating, and control method are checked as part of replacement.
Should outdoor lights use motion or dusk-to-dawn controls?+
It depends on the goal. Motion controls suit intermittent activity, while dusk-to-dawn control is useful where consistent nighttime visibility is preferred.
