Controlled, effective, efficient lighting at your home or business will enhance the surroundings and give a sense of safety and security. Check your site at night before installing lighting and note the existing light levels. If the area has low levels of lighting, then modest levels of light will work well for you and will fit more hospitably in the neighborhood. Try to keep the lighting uniform and reduce glare as much as possible. Be aware that light fixtures can have different lighting patterns.
Some fixtures have internal adjustments that can change the lighting pattern to a modest extent.
Pick the right pattern for your job. Consider using lights that turn on by motion detection. Note that these lights can also be turned on manually. These light fixtures are not expensive, and they use very little energy. As other quality fixtures are brought to our attention, they will be included in future updates.
