Lighting the home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe last thing you need to do is to light your home up like a prison or football stadium. Not only is too much light just as bad as darkness for inducing security, it can actually create a more dangerous scenario than you may have expected due to glare issues. I believe it is much better to place some lights high up in the trees to light the entire lawn area with some soft low-level light. By doing this, you discourage the offender from even coming onto your property to begin with. Keep in mind that a small amount of light goes a very long way in the black of the night. Then adding some lights at the entry to the property and along walkways will allow you and your invited guests to move around safely. This method of security lighting insures that the whole property has enough light, and that there are no dark holes to hide in.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s something else to consider. Thanks to today\u2019s technologies, we can put this kind of lighting on a remote control, or you can operate it from a smartphone app. So think about arriving at your home late at night when it is dark; you hit the remote or the phone app and the outdoor lighting comes on and lights the whole place up. \u00a0You can turn it back off when you are safely inside. I like the idea of having a regular lighting scene and a security scene that can be triggered with the remote.<\/p>\n
