Security lighting installation in Manchester
- 01
Motion sensor or dusk to dawn
Motion sensor floodlights switch on when someone approaches, which can startle an intruder and catch attention. Dusk-to-dawn lights stay on through the night at a low level. Many properties use both, with low lighting for paths and brighter sensor lights near doors.

Where lights work best
The best spots are front and back doors, side passages, garages, driveways and any dark corners next to the building. Lights mounted too high or angled badly leave shadows. We position each light to cover the area properly and keep it out of easy reach.

Being a good neighbour
Bright lights pointed at a neighbour's windows or the road can cause complaints and dazzle drivers. We angle fittings downward, set sensor ranges to cover your own property and choose a sensible brightness, so the lighting deters intruders without annoying anyone nearby.
What to expect from a security lighting installation
We walk round the outside of your property, usually at a time that lets us judge where it's darkest, and agree positions for each light. We check which circuit the lights can connect to and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
On the day, we fix the fittings, run protected cables through the wall and connect them to a circuit with RCD protection. We set the sensor range, timer and light level, test each light after dark if needed and give you a certificate for the work.

Security lighting installation questions
Do security lights really put off burglars in Manchester?
They help. A sudden light makes it harder for someone to approach unseen and draws attention from neighbours and passers-by. Security lighting works best alongside other measures, such as good locks, CCTV or an alarm, and we can advise on combining them.
Why does my security light keep switching on at night in Manchester?
It's often set too sensitive or angled at a busy pavement, road or trees that move in the wind. Pets, foxes and passing cars can also trigger it. We adjust the sensor range and angle, or move the light, so it reacts to people near your property.
Can security lights be added to my existing outside lights in Manchester?
Often, yes. If you have an outside light by a door, it can usually be swapped for a sensor light or have a separate sensor added. Lights in new positions may need extra cabling. We check your existing wiring and suggest the simplest option.
Are LED security lights expensive to run in Manchester?
No. LED security lights use far less electricity than old halogen floodlights, and sensor lights are only on for short periods. A dusk-to-dawn LED light running all night still uses little power. We fit efficient fittings to keep running costs low.
