Light up your property and deter intruders

Coming home to a dark driveway every night, or worried about who could be in the yard? Sensor light installation in Melbourne does two jobs at once: it lights your way when you come home, and it makes your property a far less appealing target. We install motion sensor floodlights and outdoor security lighting around entries, driveways, side gates and dark corners, set to switch on the moment movement is detected.

You get the right lights in the right spots, with sensors set so they pick up people without firing every time a cat walks past. We can set lights to motion-only, dusk-to-dawn, or a mix, and we make sure outdoor fittings are properly weatherproofed for Melbourne weather.

Security lighting works best alongside cameras, so if you want eyes on the property too, see Home Security & CCTV Installation. If you need extra outdoor power for lights or other gear, see Power Point Installation. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee. A well lit home is also safer for your own family coming and going at night, not just a deterrent to intruders.

Sensors tuned so they only trigger when they should

If your sensor lights either never come on or never turn off, the settings are wrong, and that is the most common complaint we hear. We adjust the sensitivity, range and timing so the lights respond to people and cars but ignore passing pets and wind-blown branches. We can set them to stay on dusk-to-dawn at a low level and brighten on movement, which suits a lot of homes. Everything is weatherproofed for the outdoors, tested on the day, and explained so you can tweak the settings yourself later if you want to. If you have an existing sensor light that has stopped working or comes on at random, we can repair or replace it too.

Placed and aimed to cover what matters

A security light only works if it covers the right area, so we plan the positions around how someone would actually approach your home. That means lighting the front entry, the driveway, side access and any dark spot near windows or gates. We aim each light to cover its zone without blinding you or your neighbours, and we set the throw so the whole approach is lit, not just a small patch. Done well, the lighting feels welcoming when you arrive and uninviting to anyone who should not be there. We also think about glare for drivers and neighbours, so a bright light does its job without becoming a nuisance. Warm, even light at the entry just makes coming home at night feel safer and more pleasant.

Sensor and security lighting across Melbourne's north

Want the dark spots around your place sorted? We install sensor and security lighting for homes and businesses across Melbourne, with a good share of our work around the northern suburbs such as Craigieburn, Epping, Reservoir and Coburg. Newer estates often want clean, modern floodlights across a larger block, while older inner-north homes want dark side passages and rear yards lit for peace of mind. Businesses use it to light car parks, entrances and loading areas after hours. Most jobs are done in a single visit, and we can upgrade old halogen floodlights to brighter, cheaper LED while we are there. You can also browse all our electrical services.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many lights you want, the fittings you choose, and whether new wiring is needed to reach them are the main factors. A floodlight near existing power is quick, while wiring lights around a large block takes longer. You get a fixed price before any work starts, with no call-out fee. Call 1300 635 294 for a quote.
Yes. If you have picked up floodlights or sensor lights yourself, we will check they suit the spot, wire them in properly and tune the sensors. If a unit is not weatherproof or up to the job, we will say so before fitting it. We can also supply quality LED units if you prefer.
Yes, for anything hardwired. Outdoor lights connect to your mains and have to be properly weatherproofed, so a licensed electrician must install them. We are licensed and insured, and every fitting is tested and sealed against the weather before we leave.
The most useful spots are entries, the driveway, side access, and any dark area near windows or gates. The idea is to light every way someone could approach the house. We will walk the property with you and plan positions that give full coverage without blinding you or the neighbours.
Yes. We tune the sensitivity, range and timing so the lights respond to people and vehicles but ignore pets and moving branches. We can also set them to dusk-to-dawn at a low level and brighten on movement. You can fine-tune them later too.
