Brighten Up the Darker Evenings: A Homeowner’s Guide to Outdoor and Security Lighting in Bournemouth
Whether it's to help you feel more secure at night, keep your garden paths safe or simply enjoy your outdoor space after dark, upgrading your outside lighting is one of the simplest ways to improve both safety and comfort at your home.
As the evenings draw in and the clocks prepare to go back, now’s the perfect time to take a look at your outdoor lighting.
At Electrisafe your local electrician we regularly carry out lighting upgrades across Bournemouth, Ferndown, Northbourne and West Parley for customers who wish to enjoy their homes in all seasons.
Why Outdoor Lighting Matters
For many of our customers being able to move safely around the outside of their home after dark is essential.
Outdoor and security lighting provides:
✅ Better visibility for your, driveways, footpaths and steps
✅ Deterrence for potential intruders
✅ Safety when taking the dog out after dark
✅ An inviting atmosphere for entertaining or relaxing in the garden
✅ Improved property value and kerb appeal
With modern lighting like LEDs, you can do all of this whilst saving money.
The Benefits of LED Lighting
If your indoor or outdoor lighting is more than a few years old, there’s a good chance it’s using incandescent or halogen bulbs which means you could be missing out on the many benefits of LED .
Here’s why more and more of our local customers are making the switch to LED:
💡Brighter, Better Light – LEDs produce a crisp, focused light that improves visibility, ideal for driveways, paths and steps
💡 Energy Efficiency – LEDs use up to 90% less electricity than traditional bulbs, which is better for your budget and the environment.
💡 Long Lifespan – Many LED lights last 15 to 20 years, which means fewer replacements.
💡 Stylish Choices – LED lighting is available in a range of colours, brightness levels and fixtures to suit every home from to classic style fittings to modern spotlights
Security Lighting That Works for You
Electrisafe can help customers choose lighting that’s both discreet and practical.
Popular security lighting options we install include:
- Low-level path lighting a safe lit up way to your door
- PIR (passive infrared) sensors these will detect movement and switch on automatically.
- Motion sensor floodlights these are great for side entrances or driveways.
- Wall-mounted lanterns with dusk-to-dawn sensors these will come on as it gets dark and will turn off in the morning
Paul our NICEIC Approved Electrician, can advise you through your home layout and recommend a perfect solution.
Planning Your Outdoor Lighting Upgrade
Here are a few things to think about before upgrading your outdoor lighting
✅ What areas do you use most in the evening? Think about paths, sheds, dog runs, garages, or garden seating areas.
✅ Do you want lighting on all night, or just when needed? Motion sensors and timers can help with energy savings.
✅ Is it time to replace old fittings? Many older lights are inefficient, prone to failure, and expensive to run.
