| Do you use a security lighting system at home? |
| |
| The Following Tips would help you |
| |
| (a) |
Infrared sensors are relatively cheap, so opt to use them in your security lighting system. |
| (b) |
All perimeter security lamps can be switched on using infrared sensors |
| |
| - |
Place the sensors strategically so as to avoid pests and pets and disturbances from nocturnal animals |
| - |
The effect could be doubled if the sensor is coupled with an audible warning to alert households |
|
| (c) |
Exterior lighting is one of the best places to use CFLs because of their long life. |
| (d) |
Consider using 4-watt minifluorescent or electro-luminescent night lights. Both lights are much more efficient than their incandescent counterparts. The luminescent lights are cool to the touch. |
| (e) |
Use dimmers, motion sensors, or occupancy sensors to automatically turn on or off lighting as needed and prevent energy waste. |
