Sensor lights
Motion sensors switch lights on as someone approaches and off again after a set time. Aim and sensitivity matter, so the light catches people, not passing cars or swaying trees.
Good security lighting does two jobs: it makes getting from the car to the front door safer after dark, and it takes away the dark corners an intruder relies on. Motion sensor LED floodlights switch on only when someone’s there, so they draw attention without lighting up the street all night.
Every property is different. A suburban home might need a sensor light at the front door, side gate and back deck. Acreage needs light along the driveway, at the gate and around sheds. For businesses, it’s car parks, entrances and loading areas.
What’s involved
- A walk-around to find the dark spots
- Fittings and sensor placement planned
- LED floodlights and sensor lights installed
- Sensors aimed and timers set
- Everything tested and adjusted
LED floodlights
Bright, efficient and long-lasting, LED floodlights cover driveways, yards and car parks without the running cost of old halogen floods.
Dusk to dawn and smart control
Low-level lights on a daylight sensor or timer keep paths lit all night, and smart controls let you switch lights from your phone while you’re away.
Outdoor fittings need a weatherproof (IP) rating that suits their spot and, near the coast, materials that handle salt air.

Where should security lights go?
At entry points and anywhere dark that someone could approach unseen: the front door, side gates, back doors and decks, garages, driveways and around sheds. Joel can walk the property with you and point out the dark spots.
Do sensor lights deter intruders?
Light that switches on suddenly draws attention and removes places to hide, which makes a property a less attractive target. It works best alongside other measures, like good locks.
How do I stop sensor lights being set off by cars or trees?
With careful aim, the right sensitivity settings, and a sensor with an adjustable range or detection zone. Joel sets these up so the light picks up people, not passing traffic.
Can security lights run on a timer or from my phone?
Yes. Lights can run on a daylight sensor, a timer or smart controls, and sensor lights can be combined with a low dusk to dawn setting. That suits holiday homes and properties that sit empty for a while.
Can you light a long driveway or acreage?
Yes. Bigger blocks often need lights along the driveway, at the gate and around sheds, and long cable runs need to be planned properly. Joel can work out a layout that covers the property.
Do you do security lighting for businesses?
Yes. LENNELEC does commercial and industrial work, including lighting for car parks, entrances, loading areas and warehouses.
