May 18, 2007, Newsletter Issue #41: Motion Detector Lights Illuminate Danger, Pests
Tip of the Week
Motion detector lights can provide low-cost home security and peace of mind.
They come on automatically when you pull in the driveway from work, or when your kids walk into the yard after playing at a neighbor’s house. They will illuminate a raccoon trying to overturn your trash cans.
Motion detector lights are easy to install, especially if you are replacing an existing light fixture. They also are affordable: Two-bulb floodlights are about $25. Front-door lights may run about $60.
The lights will come on late at night if an intruder walks toward your garage, back deck, or front yard. Check out these tips for locating motion detector lights:
If you want lights to come on when you get in at night, position sensors to cover paths near doors you use to enter the house.Place the sensors to illuminate areas that need extra safety, such as near pools and stairways.To improve security, locate motion sensor lights around access areas to your house -- entryways, patios and at gates and fences. It's not a bad idea to place them in darker areas around your yard, next to trees and shrubbery. The last thing that an intruder wants is to be seen.
