Spring Is Here - Give Your Outdoor Lighting a Refresh

Spring is finally here!

With winter behind us and warmer temperatures on the way, many Auckland homeowners are starting to think about spring cleaning, tidying up the garden and refreshing areas around the home.

But spring cleaning doesn't have to stop at the front door.

💡 Make Your Home Stand Out with Outdoor Lighting

The right outdoor lighting can completely change the way your home looks after dark, highlighting your garden, entrance, pathways or driveway and creating that extra wow factor from the street.

And you don't necessarily need a large or expensive lighting installation to make an impact.

Often, just one or two carefully positioned, low-impact garden lights can transform an outdoor area, adding warmth and character while showcasing some of your home's best features.

Often, just one or two carefully positioned, low-impact garden lights can transform an outdoor area, adding warmth and character while showcasing some of your home's best features.

Thoughtfully positioned garden and landscape lighting can be used to highlight trees and planting, illuminate architectural features or simply create an inviting entrance to your home.

Every property is different, which is where a little planning and experience can make all the difference.

At AB Electrical, we love helping customers create effective outdoor lighting solutions and finding ways to achieve a great result without necessarily requiring a big investment.

Brighten Up Your Home with Our Security Light Offer

Dark winter evenings are a good reminder of just how important effective exterior lighting can be around your home.

AB Electrical has recently replaced a number of older security lights with modern LED security lighting, and the difference can be impressive.

Good exterior lighting can:

• Provide bright, effective lighting for driveways, pathways and outdoor areas.

• Improve visibility when arriving home or moving around your property after dark.

• Help deter unwanted visitors who prefer to operate under the cover of darkness.

Sensor or Non-Sensor – The Choice Is Yours

A few months ago, we introduced a new dual LED security light featuring motion sensor technology. These have proven very popular with customers, particularly because the settings can be customised to suit the individual property and environment.

Following customer demand, the manufacturer has now released a non-sensor version featuring the same technology and robust construction.

This provides homeowners with two options:

Motion Sensor LED Security Light – automatically activates when movement is detected and can be customised to suit your property.

Non-Sensor LED Security Light – ideal if you prefer to control your exterior lighting yourself and don't require motion activation.

Even better, both models come with an impressive 7-year manufacturer's warranty.

Save 10% During August & September

For orders placed during August and September, AB Electrical has secured special promotional pricing from the manufacturer, giving customers a 10% discount on these security lights.

If you have an exterior lighting requirement, now is a great time to take a look at your options.

Whether you prefer the convenience of a motion sensor or the control of a non-sensor security light, we can recommend the solution best suited to your property.

Securing your Home for the Holidays

As the holiday season is synonymous with vacations, we understand the importance of ensuring your home remains secure in your absence. AB Electrical is delighted to introduce our security solutions to bring you peace of mind during the holidays.

1. Security Lights

Brighten up your property with motion-activated exterior security dual LED lights. Would-be burglars don’t like being lit up like a Christmas tree as they enter your property and thus elect instead to target a neighbour who does not have security lights.

Many homeowners already have installed units but the sensor or the lights failed some time ago.  Take advantage of our Christmas promotional offer, starting at $199 incl. GST for each dual LED motion-activated security light, to replace failed units and enhance your property's security.

We also have options to wire in new security lights and not just replace existing security lights.  These are great for under the eaves, where there is some weather protection.  

2. Security Cameras

Our security camera solutions are designed to keep you informed and in control. Starting from $799 incl. GST for two cameras plus a base station, our systems offer:

  • Capture and store video images of people entering your property.
  • Will alert you to an activation while you are away
  • Allow you to watch live video of the activity on your phone
  • Can activate the audio function allowing you to talk directly to the person
  • Use AI technology to identify people vs animals etc
  • Use night vision capability.

Great for when you away giving you the peace of mind around protecting your home from unwanted visitors or just dealing with courier deliveries.

Ensuring Home Security: A Vital Step in Protecting Your Property

Crime in the community is a major issue with brazen burglaries posing a threat in residential areas.

It’s crucial to remain vigilant.

As homeowners, taking proactive measures to safeguard our homes and belongings is paramount.

One significant deterrent is the installation of security lights and cameras, both of which are excellent solutions to dissuade potential burglars from targeting your property.

The mere presence of these lights and cameras can often deter intruders, prompting them to seek out easier targets elsewhere.

Security Lights:
Motion-activated exterior security lights, equipped with powerful dual LED lights, are activated by movement by up to a range of 10-meters.

Would-be burglars are less inclined to target well-lit properties, minimising the risk of intrusion.

For homeowners with existing units, we offer a promotional price from $175.00 + GST to replace failed units, ensuring continuous protection. Additionally, we provide options for wiring in new security lights, offering versatility in installation locations.

Security Cameras:
At AB Electrical, we can enhance your security by setting up surveillance cameras and security lights, serving as a significant deterrent to potential burglars. No one likes being caught on camera.

Security cameras often play a crucial role in aiding law enforcement, as they frequently provide essential evidence leading to the arrest of individuals involved in burglary cases.

These cameras capture and store video footage of individuals entering your property. They can also send alerts to your smartphone, provide live video feeds, and even enable two-way communication.

With night vision capabilities and AI technology to differentiate between people and animals, our security camera systems offer peace of mind, especially when you’re away from home.

Our package of 2 cameras plus a base station is available from $675.00 + GST, with the flexibility to expand the system as needed.

At AB Electrical, we’re committed to providing expert advice and guidance to meet your specific security requirements.

Protect your home and loved ones—contact us today to explore your security options.

5 Outdoor Lighting Tips

AB Electrical has 5 Outdoor Lighting tips just for you. When the weather warms, and your parties move outdoors, use the night sky as your backdrop, and lights to create mood and ambiance. Outdoor lighting is often an afterthought. But with the ability to entertain, any time of the year, money spent on your lighting is money well spent.

For an outdoor entertainers dream - here are 5 Outdoor Lighting Tips:

  1. Use uplighting - For dramatic results, lights that shine upward can create a striking effect and highlight the architectural details of your home. For smaller homes, uplighting makes them appear larger at night. You can use lighting to set the mood or create different scenes in different outdoor areas.
  2. Use Low-Intensity Bulbs - For a softer and friendlier look, go with low-intensity bulbs. No-one wants bright lights in their faces while trying to have a conversation. Talking to a silhouette does not make for a great evening.
  3. Avoid shining lights on windows - Don't face lights onto windows, it creates glare on the outside, and from the inside, you will block your view.
  4. Use Accent Lighting -  If you want to showcase one particular part of your outdoor decor, you need to choose accent lighting. Make your outdoor area come to life. Highlight trees and other features in your outdoor space.
  5. Don't forget the Timers -You have a busy life, the last thing you need to remember is to turn your outdoor lights on and off. Timers are essential. Set up your timers to come on at dusk and off at dawn.
