Stay safe this summer with sophisticated security lighting, says BLT Direct

Although the summer is still in full swing, the nights are certainly starting to draw in. BLT Direct, one of the UK’s premier providers of lighting solutions for over 10 years, is urging homeowners not to get complacent, as burglaries can still happen – even in broad daylight.

During the summer, windows and doors can be left open by accident. Unfortunately this means that it can be all too easy for those inclined to reach in and take car keys, handbags and expensive pieces of tech, while homeowners sit blissfully unaware. Motion censored security lighting however makes this an almost impossibility.

Steven Ellwood, Managing Director of BLT Direct, said, “Security lights are often considered necessary in the dark winter months. However people forget that they can be incredibly useful in the summer months too. Helping to highlight potential dangers, they can help to ward off potential intruders and save a lot of headache for unsuspecting victims.”

BLT’s range of motion sensor security lights use PIR sensors. This means that any object that emits heat – such as an animal or human – triggers the light when it comes into view. This helps to signal to homeowners that something is afoot before anything serious happens. As the sophisticated sensors use infrared technology, they also help to eliminate annoying triggers, such as wind, which has been a bug bear for many.

Motion censored lights have also been proven to actually deter would-be burglars. Incredibly bright, they can stop them in their tracks, and as a result, have been proven to keep houses safer in both rural and urban areas.

LED lights are incredibly long lasting. They last on average 30,000 hours before bulbs need to be replaced, which signals exceptional value for money. They also don’t get hot so are safe to be left on for hours at a time if necessary, making them the perfect addition to outside spaces for added peace of mind.
