One of the major lighting installation requests we receive here at Anchor Electric of Florida Inc. is installing motion sensor lighting on residential homes. You may wonder if there are any benefits to having motion sensor lights installed at the front, back, or interior of your home.
Let us ask this question to get your wheels turning… have you ever entered a dark room and stumbled around trying to find the light switch? If your answer is yes, we are sure you can already identify one reason motion sensor lights can be a great asset to your home. They turn on when there is motion, which means you will avoid fumbling around in the dark looking for a lighting source, which can actually be dangerous.
Even with this one huge advantage to motion sensor lighting, we can name 5 more benefits to help assist you if you are thinking of adding motion sensor lighting to the interior or exterior of your home.
The Pros of Motion Sensor Lighting
- Safety- Motion sensor lighting is a great asset to helping you feel safer in your home. When lights turn on automatically, you are instantly alerted to movement that is within a certain range, which allows you to be aware of your surroundings and anything that could be lurking outside. When lights are triggered, this can deter unwanted or ill intended guests who are unable to sneak around in darkness.
- Convenience- What is better than having a bright light illuminate your space without having to manually control it? You do not have to worry about switching a light on or off or worry about fumbling around in darkness because it will be activated through motion. The no touch function of a motion sensor light is great for homes that may have older or disabled individuals as well as children. You can even install motion sensor lighting on stairs for those late night kitchen runs!
- Cost Efficient- Do you ever forget to turn off your front porch lights when you wake up in the morning? We are guilty, too! With motion sensor lighting, the light is automatically activated, which means there will be no wasted energy from leaving on a light switch, such as front or back porch lights. You also will not have to change light bulbs as frequently. This will save you money in the long run due to the fact that the lights will automatically turn off when not in use, saving the longevity of your bulbs.
- Weather resistant- Motion flood lights are designed to resist the elements of all different kinds of weather, which means you will not have to worry about damage to your lighting, rain or shine!
- Let there be light- Are there areas of your home that do not have convenient light switches? Motion sensor lighting could be a great solution to illuminate these areas of your home and will light up by simply walking by.
