How To Choose the Right Security Lighting
Choosing effective security lighting means understanding the options, strategic coverage, and installation standards.
Our team at H.Irwin Electrical draws on years of local experience to recommend lighting systems that offer both peace of mind and efficiency for Adelaide homes and businesses.
Space and Needs Assessment
Adelaide properties benefit most from a considered mix of motion sensor lights, LED spotlights, and floodlights.
Motion sensors activate only as needed, improving energy efficiency and security. Solar lights can be cost-effective for sun-exposed areas, while mains-powered fixtures remain best for high-output and dependable nighttime coverage.
We help you weigh up practical considerations like location, brightness, power source, and smart home integration. Our team ensures your lighting setup meets both safety standards and lifestyle needs.
Lighting Placement and Coverage
Properly positioned security lighting covers driveways, entries, boundaries, and business access points without leaving blind spots.
Our team assesses each property’s layout to map the most vulnerable access points, using both wide-beam floodlights and targeted spotlights as necessary.
For commercial clients, we recommend higher-output LEDs and additional perimeter lighting to protect loading bays or parking areas. Careful placement also reduces light spill, keeping neighbours and wildlife in mind.
Durability Inspection and Upkeep
Adelaide weather can be demanding, so our recommendations favour IP65-rated, weatherproof LED fittings. Long-life LEDs reduce the need for frequent replacement and cut running costs.
We guide you through selecting robust housings and vandal-resistant fixtures, keeping maintenance minimal and performance high, especially for busy commercial premises.
All our installations include advice on maintenance and reliable ongoing support.
Compliance and Safety Checks
Security sensor lighting must be properly installed to comply with Australian electrical regulations. Our licensed electricians provide Certificates of Compliance for every installation, so your insurance and safety are never at risk.
For businesses, we also offer tailored service plans and fast-response repairs, delivering long-term reliability. Working with a fully insured, local team means you’re covered from installation through to ongoing support.

Common Types of Security Lights We Install
We offer a broad selection of Security Lighting solutions to fit both homes and businesses in Adelaide.
Our team works with modern, energy-efficient options as well as robust commercial-grade systems. Each setup is tailored to match your property’s layout and security needs.
Motion Sensor Security Lighting
Our team often recommends motion sensor light systems around main doors, garages, and side entrances.
These lights activate when movement is detected, providing an immediate deterrent while making it easier to see at night.
We fine-tune detection ranges for each location, so you don’t get unnecessary triggers from pets or street activity. For added flexibility, controls let you set brightness levels and adjust timings.
Floodlights for Large Outdoor Areas
Floodlights are installed for wide coverage, especially in car parks, backyards, or commercial loading zones. We primarily use LED floodlights for their long life and reduced running costs.
Placement is strategic, with the option to mount lights at heights for broader reach or connect them with automation systems for scheduled operation.
Our installations ensure that all vulnerable outdoor zones are well-lit throughout the night.
Smart and Solar Security Lighting
For properties needing extra flexibility, we can install smart lights and solar-powered options. S
mart security lighting allows remote control and scheduling through smartphone apps, so you can adjust lights even when you’re away.
Solar models are ideal for areas where wiring isn’t practical, such as along long driveways or isolated sheds. We guide clients on combining these with their existing electrical setup for hassle-free operation.

Costs to Consider When Installing Security Lights in Adelaide
When we quote for security lighting installation in Adelaide, there’s a range of factors that shape the cost. The type of fixture, be it an LED floodlight, motion sensor, or smart security light, affects the upfront and ongoing expense.
Installation complexity is another key driver; covering a full perimeter, adding automation, or working around tricky access points will usually increase costs.
Commercial properties, which our team sees regularly, often need heavier-duty fittings and compliance with specific Australian standards, which can also change the price.
Price Ranges for Security Lighting Services
Security lighting in Adelaide generally starts from $180–$350 per basic LED motion light supplied and installed.
Solar-powered or garden options can shift that figure to $200–$500 per fixture, mainly due to the tech involved. For smart or fully integrated lighting, costs can reach $350–$700 each, depending on your control requirements.
Large commercial or multi-zone installations, which we specialise in, may start from around $1,500 and head into five figures for extensive coverage.
