Professional Security Lighting Installation in Cumming, Georgia
Your home should be a sanctuary, not a target. One of the most effective deterrents against burglars and trespassers is lighting. Most home invasions happen after dark, and criminals actively avoid well-lit properties. Security lighting isn’t just about floodlights on your garage — it’s about strategic placement that eliminates hiding spots, illuminates entry points, and makes your property visible from the street and to neighbors. But security lighting can go wrong too: lights that blind your neighbors, motion sensors that miss movement, lights that stay on all night wasting energy, or fixtures that fail during a storm when you need them most.
At Rob Ingram’s Freestyle Lighting and Electrical, we design security lighting systems that are effective, neighbor-friendly, and energy-efficient. We start with a walk-around of your property, identifying vulnerable areas: side gates, basement windows, back doors, driveway approaches, and dark corners behind bushes or AC units. Then we recommend a combination of motion-activated floodlights, dusk-to-dawn fixtures, and always-on accent lights for key areas. We use only LED fixtures for brightness and low energy use, and we can integrate with smart controls so you get phone alerts when motion is detected. Our service area includes Cumming, Alpharetta, Gainesville, and all of North Georgia. Call us today and light up the darkness.
We think like security professionals. We don’t just install lights where you point — we point you to where lights are needed most. Motion sensors are placed at the right height and angle to detect human movement without triggering from animals or passing cars. Lights are aimed down and away to avoid light pollution and neighbor complaints. We also offer free panel inspection with every security lighting installation to ensure your circuits aren’t overloaded. And for homes with existing security systems, we can integrate lighting directly into your alarm platform. We’re also available 24/7 for emergency security lighting repairs — because a dark home on a stormy night is a vulnerable home.

A: For most applications, yes. Motion lights are more energy-efficient and more startling to intruders. However, keeping a few always-on lights at entry points (like porch lights) is also effective. A combination works best.
A: Floodlights typically range from 700 to 3,000 lumens. For driveways and large backyards, 1,500-2,000 lumens. For smaller areas like side gates, 700-1,000 lumens is sufficient. We'll recommend the right brightness for your space.
A: We specialize in electrical, not low-voltage cameras, but we can run power to camera locations and install weatherproof outlets for plug-in cameras. For fully integrated systems, we can coordinate with a security company.
A: Quality LED security fixtures last 30,000 to 50,000 hours. With typical nightly use (motion-activation only), they can last 10 years or more. We install only commercial-grade fixtures with replaceable LED modules.
