The Role Smart Lighting Plays in Home Security

Lighting has long played an essential role in home security. If nothing else, it helps us feel safer. When we hear a noise, instead of peering into the darkness, lighting helps us see the cause.

Studies show, however, that lighting does more than quell an anxious heartbeat. In fact, it can significantly reduce crime rates. One study reported in LEDs Magazine and conducted by the scientific research team Crime Lab found that increased lighting resulted in a 7% overall reduction in robbery and property crimes. When looking at crimes occurring at night, that figure rose to 39%.
