Outdoor Lighting

Floodlights come in a range of sizes and are generally used as a burglar / intruder deterrent but they also do a fantastic job of lighting up specific areas of your garden or even the whole garden, if it is powerful enough. They are usually chosen based upon their output which is measured in lumens. As a rough guide 1000 lumens will light up a space 15 – 20 meters squared, well enough to see down a short alleyway or to make a feature out of a specific point in your garden.

If you want to create daylight across your whole garden, then you could install a floodlight that gives off 27000 lumens, although you may find spaceships might start sending you angry letters!

Floodlights commonly include PIR sensors which come built into the device and will cause the light to switch on when motion is detected within a certain range, making them the ideal deterrent.

Floodlights can also come with a built-in photocell; these are used to determine when you would like the light to switch on based on how dark it is outside. The switching can turn the light on permanently until the ambient light level increases or if used in conjunction with a PIR, tell the PIR to activate, ready to turn the light on when motion is detected.

Motion detection / PIR detection and photocells are not just limited to floodlights, as we are also able to fit separate PIR / motion detection equipment and or photocell sensors to your existing or new garden lighting depending on your requirements.
