Security Lighting
Across South Wales

A single PIR security light installation typically costs £120–£200 including the fitting and labour. A full property security lighting system with multiple lights usually costs £400–£900 depending on the number of lights, cable runs, and wiring required. We always provide a free, fixed-price quote before any work begins.

For most homes, a combination of PIR motion sensor lights on vulnerable areas (side passages, rear gardens, driveways) and a dusk-to-dawn light at the front works best. LED floodlights are ideal for larger areas. Smart security lights are increasingly popular in premium South Wales postcodes. We'll recommend the right setup based on your property layout and security requirements.

For reliable, long-term security lighting, hardwired installation is strongly recommended. Battery and solar options exist but are less reliable, especially in Welsh weather conditions. Hardwired lights provide consistent performance year-round and are more difficult for intruders to disable. All our installations use weatherproof outdoor-rated wiring and fittings.

Poorly positioned lights can cause light pollution and neighbour disputes. We carefully angle all lights and adjust PIR sensitivity to cover your property without shining into neighbouring windows or triggering from pavement traffic. We follow best practice guidelines for security lighting positioning to ensure your system is effective without causing nuisance.

Yes, we install commercial security lighting for all types of business premises across South Wales including offices, warehouses, retail units, car parks, and industrial sites. We can design systems that meet insurance requirements and integrate with existing CCTV and alarm systems. Commercial security lighting is available across Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Bridgend, and all surrounding areas.

In many cases, yes. We can add security lights to an existing outdoor circuit if it has sufficient capacity. If not, we'll install a dedicated circuit from your consumer unit for safety and reliability. We assess your existing electrical system during the free survey and advise on the best approach.

PIR stands for Passive Infrared. A PIR sensor detects changes in infrared radiation (heat) caused by movement within its detection zone. When a person or animal moves within range, the sensor triggers the light to switch on. PIR sensors can be adjusted for sensitivity (to avoid false triggers from small animals) and duration (how long the light stays on after activation).

Yes, we install smart security lighting systems that can be controlled via smartphone apps. Smart security lights allow you to set schedules, adjust sensitivity remotely, receive motion alerts, and integrate with other smart home devices. Smart security lighting is particularly popular in premium South Wales areas including Lisvane, Cyncoed, Penarth, Cowbridge, Mumbles, and Monmouth.

The number of security lights depends on your property size and layout. A typical semi-detached house might need 2–4 lights covering the front, rear, and side access. Larger detached properties may need 4–8 lights. We carry out a free property survey to identify all vulnerable areas and recommend the optimal number and positioning of lights for maximum security coverage.

Yes, many home insurers offer reduced premiums for properties with professionally installed security lighting. Some insurers specifically require security lighting as a condition of cover for certain property types. We can provide documentation of your security lighting installation for insurance purposes.
