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

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.

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.
