subject: Outdoor Wall Lights For Businesses [print this page] The use of outdoor wall lights can help to provide your business with a measure of added security, for a number of reasons. Firstly, think about the area in which your business is operating - perhaps you are situated in a business park, away from the road and not easily visible? This could lead to an increased level of threat from burglary or arson. This could be even more of a risk if you have a warehouse full of stock as part of your building premises, with many people coming and going all day long, all it takes is word of mouth and you could be the subject of a break in.
So how do you avoid this? Well the first step would be to install CCTV and an alarm system to ensure that if anyone does try to get in, then you will have it on film and also that the alarm will go off should the premises be forcefully entered. Another way to amplify the security would be to use security outdoor wall lights, these can be placed strategically on and around dimly lit areas ensuring that the CCTV can pick out details when night falls. Perhaps you could have them set up on a motion sensor so that they will only come on when someone crosses the beam and stimulates the sensor.
This will help to save energy and can help serve as a deterrent to potential thieves.
Another key consideration to think about is the employees of the company; they will more than often drive into work and park up for the day. In the winter when darkness falls early this will leave their vehicles at risk, again the use of strategically placed outdoor wall lights can deter a criminal from attempting to steal an employees car from under their nose.
The mere presence of the security outdoor wall light will give the staff peace of mind to bring their cars in and park them near to work. Having outdoor lights can also help people walking to vehicles feel secure and aid them in finding their car door lock.
Perhaps your business operates a 24 hour delivery system, whereby the warehouse has a day and nights shift, taking deliveries and sorting stock all day and all night. The use of outdoor wall lights will be most useful here; the staff will be able to leave the warehouse should they require a break and enjoy fresh air outside rather than being cooped up all night. This little benefit will help to keep moral up and ensure that mistakes are kept to a cost effective minimum, great news for the business.
On taking deliveries, you shouldn't have to check the stock in by torch light. An outdoor wall light will illuminate the area so as to ensure that the delivery is carried out easily and no mistakes are made, another added benefit.
So as you can see, the use of outdoor wall lights, be it for security purposes, to light a staff entrance or the warehouse area, is both key to the effective running of the business but also the safety and security of your stock, your premises and, most importantly, your staff.
