For Maryland Businesses, security lighting can be one of the best investments you make. It provides many advantages that make your property not only safer, but much more appealing place at night.
Security lighting placed outside is usually controlled by a time clock or a photocell. The benefits of security lighting are self-evident, though some of them are subtler and may not be obvious at first glance.
First and most importantly, the lighting helps keep your property safer. Criminals thrive in the dark and will generally avoid well-lit properties if they can help it. When used in conjunction with a security camera, a good lighting system will not only deny them a place to hide, but can help identify them for prosecution later.
Security lighting also provides a number of additional benefits.
- Convenience: When employees arrive and depart, they can easily find their keys, etc, because light is readily available.
- Residents, and/or your employees are more comfortable: If your property is deemed much safer than others in your area, you will experience less turnover.
- Prevention: If your property is protected, you are less likely to be targeted in the first place by intruders–Protecting your buildings, and saving you money.
- Save Money-Many insurance companies will offer lower premiums if you have security measures in place.
Some security measures are simple and can be done on site by your maintenance men. However for larger properties and projects, rely on the professionals. These types of installations should only be done by a professional electrician. Call Walter Electric for fast, reliable service throughout Maryland.
