The Diplomatic Solution to Security Light Problems
When your Birmingham home is affected by a neighbour's security light, adjusting the light itself is often the most direct and cost-effective solution. This approach maintains your neighbour's security while eliminating unwanted light spillage into your property. Our NAPIT-certified electricians specialize in these sensitive adjustments, acting as neutral professionals who can help preserve neighbourly relations while solving your light pollution problem.
Professional Security Light Adjustments
Our certified electricians can implement multiple technical adjustments to security lighting systems:
- Sensor Zone Reconfiguration: Precisely adjusting motion detection zones to exclude your windows and outdoor spaces while maintaining effective security coverage.
- Beam Angle Adjustment: Modifying the light's casting angle to focus illumination where it's needed while preventing spillage into neighbouring properties.
- Light Shield Installation: Fitting custom shields or directional baffles that block light from specific directions without reducing security effectiveness.
- Dimming Module Installation: Adding intelligent dimming capabilities that reduce brightness during late hours while maintaining sufficient illumination for security purposes.
- Timing Adjustments: Reprogramming automated timing systems to reduce operating hours or intensities during typical sleeping periods.
