Security Lighting Minneola, FL

admin — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:09:54 +0000

The most important places to have Security lighting for your Minneola home are on are at all possible entrances on the first floor such as windows, doors, porch or deck door-walls and garage entrances. It’s also a good idea to have a light shining on all keyholes around the outside of the house. When it comes to selecting the type of bulbs, try incandescent lights as they are easy to maintain, but keep in mind they are least energy efficient. Another option is sodium or mercury vapor lights. These lights are more powerful and more energy efficient but are also more expensive.

At In Charge Electric, their professional Florida electricians maintain fully-stocked service trucks ready to be used! Our professional Lake County electrical contractors can come to your home to inspect, diagnose and repair any problem you may be having.

Security Lighting Considerations

admin — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:01:46 +0000

An important element of your home security “system” is proper security lighting. Criminals wish to remain unobserved and good outdoor lighting can discourage many of them from considering your home as a target. Of the many security lighting options that are available, which one is the “best”?

The first thing to look at is efficiency. Efficiency is a measure of the amount of light emitted (lumens) for a given amount of energy consumed (watts). The light source that produces the most lumens per watt is the most efficient. Another consideration is lamp life. Cheap bulbs that need frequent replacement may actually be more expensive than costlier bulbs that lasts much longer. The third characteristic is color rendition. This tells you how natural an illuminated person or object will look. A fourth thing to consider is how fast it reaches full intensity. Some types of lighting have a delay when they start up.

There are basically three types of lighting that can be used for home security: 1) incandescent lighting; 2) fluorescent lighting; and 3) high intensity discharge lighting. Each one has advantages and disadvantages. Let’s take a look at each type and compare them.

Incandescent Lighting

This is the ubiquitous light bulb that is found in nearly every room of your house. Most people use this to light their front and rear doors. Incandescent lighting is the most inefficient of all three types. It emits light by heating a small filament to a white hot glow. About 90% of the energy it consumes is used to create the heat, while only 10% is actually converted to light. Illuminated objects have a natural appearance under incandescent lighting. The bulbs are inexpensive, but they also have the shortest life. They are best suited as security lighting in applications where they will be turned on only briefly or full illumination is required immediately, even in very cold weather.

Lumens per Watt = 15 to 25

Average Life = 750 to 2,000 hours

Fluorescent Lighting

This lighting can be in the form of tubes, or compact fluorescent lights (CFL) that have built-in ballasts and can be screwed into regular incandescent light sockets. Fluorescent lighting is about four times more efficient than incandescent lighting and lasts nearly 25 times as long. In the past, frequently turning fluorescent bulbs on and off shortened their life-span, but this is not true with modern fixtures. These lights also illuminate with a natural color. All of this would seem to make fluorescent lighting a hands-down winner over incandescent bulbs. But CFLs require a short warm-up period to reach full brightness. In cold weather, this warm-up period is considerably longer, and in very cold weather, they may not turn on at all.

Lumens per Watt = 33 to 70

Average Life = 10,000 to 20,000 hours

High Intensity Discharge Lighting

This is often called HID lighting. HID lighting is the most efficient, and has the longest bulb life of the three lighting types. But, it has a delay when first starting up before it reaches full brightness. The time it takes the light to restart after being turned off, also called “re-strike” time, is even longer (3 to 5 minutes). This makes HID lighting unusable for security lighting applications that require an instant start. They are best suited for area lights that will be on for long periods of time (at least an hour). There are four types of HID lighting: 1) low-pressure sodium (LPS); 2) high-pressure sodium (HPS); 3) mercury-vapor (MV); and 4) metal-halide (MH).

LPS is the most efficient lighting source of all, but it is rarely used in the United States. The red-orange light does not look at all natural and the actual color of illuminated objects is severely distorted. Also, the fixtures themselves are larger than those of the other HID light sources.
