A motion sensor may detect movement beyond the area you want covered. We can assess its aim and controls as part of the lighting work.

Security lighting installation for McCordsville properties

Security lighting installation gives homeowners and businesses a way to light entrances and other outdoor areas. You can choose between a switched light and a motion-controlled fixture based on how you use the space. We recommend deciding what should trigger a light before choosing the fixture.

A sensor aimed across a walkway has a different job from a switch-operated light at a business entrance. Electrical repair may be the right first step if an existing circuit isn't working.

  • Identify the entrance or outdoor area you want the light to cover.
  • Decide whether you want a wall switch or motion control.
  • Note any existing fixture or circuit problems before requesting a quote.

Process

How we install your outdoor security light

1

Discuss the lighting goal

We ask which areas need light and whether you want motion or switch control.

2

Review the electrical connection

We inspect the proposed fixture location and the available wiring to determine the work needed.

3

Explain the quote

We provide an estimate based on the proposed fixture and wiring work. Free Estimates Available.

4

Install and test the light

We install the fixture, connect its controls and test its operation.

Choosing the right work for your outdoor lights

New fixture or electrical repair

A new fixture is useful when you need light in another area. If a working light has lost power, diagnosis and repair may be the better first job.

Residential and commercial properties

Our insured team works on both homes and businesses. We'll discuss how access to the fixture and electrical supply fits your property.

Motion control and wall switch control

These controls offer different ways to operate an exterior light.

ControlHow the light operatesWhen it may fit
Motion sensorThe light responds to detected movement.You want the light to come on as someone approaches.
Wall switchYou turn the connected light on or off.You want direct control from the switch.

Motion sensor controls for outdoor lights

Detection range
The sensor's range determines the area where it can detect movement. Its aim and settings affect which activity triggers the light.

Questions about outdoor security lights

Can motion sensors control my security lights for Security Lighting Installation?

Yes, motion sensors can control compatible security lights, and sensitivity settings affect how they respond. GMB Electric can install lighting with motion controls suited to your intended coverage area.

Tell us what activity should trigger the light. We'll discuss the sensor and fixture options for your property before work begins.

What should I confirm before approving the work?

The proposed fixture, control and wiring work should be clear before you approve the job.

  • Which area the light will illuminate.
  • How you'll turn the light.
  • What electrical work the quote covers.

We'll discuss these details with you. Ask us about any part of the proposed work that doesn't match your plans.

Which wiring conditions can change the job?

Existing wiring and access to a suitable electrical supply can change the work needed for an outdoor fixture.

A nearby light doesn't automatically mean its wiring suits another fixture. We'll inspect the proposed connection and explain the work involved before you decide how to proceed.

When does an outdoor light need repair rather than replacement?

An outdoor light may need repair when a fault in its switch, connection or circuit stops it from working.

A new fixture won't fix every electrical fault. We can diagnose the problem and discuss whether repair or replacement fits the condition of your existing light.

Why would I choose a wall switch for an exterior light?

A wall switch lets you turn a connected exterior light on and off directly.

That control may suit an entrance where you want to choose when the light operates. We'll discuss your routine and the proposed wiring so you can decide whether switch control fits the job.

How should I describe a breaker problem affecting my outdoor light?

Tell us which light loses power and what happens when you use its switch.

Note whether the breaker trips again and whether other fixtures lose power. Leave the affected light off, and don't keep resetting a breaker that trips. We'll use your description to plan the electrical diagnosis.
