Lighting questions, answered by experts

In most cases, outdoor lighting is a worthwhile investment. Installing lights around your property can drastically improve your home’s curb appeal, especially if you have a lighting professional design the system, and it can make your home more appealing and more valuable when you sell it. Outdoor lighting can also improve the security of your home, as lighting can help deter burglars, which is always a worthwhile investment.

Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:

  • CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

  • Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours

  • HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours

  • Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours

  • LED bulb: 50,000 hours

Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they’re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don’t turn on when you need them to. 

The majority of potential burglars are amateurs looking to make a quick buck after breaking and entering. By installing motion-sensor lights, alarm systems, and security cameras, throughout the home, there’s a good chance you will deter crime on your property.

Flickering lights, intermittent outages, or physical damage to fixtures signal immediate repair to avoid electrical hazards.
