Security Lighting Installation in Allison Park, Pennsylvania

Entry points are a useful place to start, and Electrician Pittsburgh can assess the paths leading to them. A light near a door helps illuminate the lock and the immediate approach.

We can also discuss a driveway or side path. The right position depends on what you want to see and where a fixture can be mounted.

A list of the areas you want lit helps us plan the assessment.

• Note the doors or paths you use.
• Identify existing outdoor lights and switches.
• Tell us about any fixture that has stopped working.

Access to the proposed mounting area also helps us assess the work. You don't need to open a fixture or handle wiring before we arrive.

Fixture direction and control type help determine how an outdoor light fits your space.

• Beam direction affects the area the light reaches.
• A motion sensor turns the light on when it detects movement.
• A switch gives you a way to control a suitable fixture manually.

We'll discuss these choices with you and consider how you use the area.

A faulty outdoor light needs troubleshooting before we can recommend repair or replacement.

The problem could involve the fixture, its switch or the wiring. We assess the fault and explain the work needed. If you also want light in a different area, we can discuss that installation separately.

A motion sensor may detect activity elsewhere within its coverage area.

Its direction and settings can affect what it detects. We can assess the sensor's position and discuss an adjustment that better fits the area you want to cover. The fixture and its available settings also matter.

A sparking fixture needs electrical attention, so keep away from it and don't touch exposed parts.

Tell us what you saw and whether the light or switch has other faults. We provide emergency electrical service and can assess the problem. Avoid opening the fixture or attempting wiring repairs yourself.
