[Help] External Security Lighting

[swd40]

Off the back of my previous, highly successful and read thread, I've been burgled etc.

Are there any reputable/ available classic or modern electrically trained experts who could, supply and/or just fit, new front and rear (separate units not a proper idiot) motion triggered security lights in the Worthing area?

Gonna be expensive if you're looking to cover the whole of the Worthing area. Would suggest you just fit them on your own property to start with.

Wasnt intending on doing Durrington for obvious reasons and to save a few pence..

better off with cameras than lights Shirley? idea to catch them, not help them see what they're nicking??

I have a few of these about our back garden, largely to deter badgers from digging up my lawn, they certainly do the trick, and kick out loads of light, you can get different sizes too. They work all year round, and don't require installation*.



*well, a couple of screws.

This - Lights are no deterrent whatsoever, they just help them see what they're doing! Cameras also no deterrent but at least you can catch them

Got a light/camera combo coming for the back garden, which needs wiring.

Have invested in a Eufy Doorbell/Cam which is battery powered on the front door.

Just wanted a decorative motion sensor style light for the front, to enhance the lighting without making it look like a prison yard each time its triggered.

I usually persuade my customers to fit a warm white LED remote controlled flood in your situation. The remote gives you various options constant light if your having a party or bbq in the evening for instance.
PIR is built into the unit so they look reasonably stylish no ugly PIR hanging below the unit. Cost about £60 I will dig out the link if interested.

If you have something in mind, then you can buy them yourself and just get a good electrician to fit them. I use Wellman Electrical who are very reliable.

Would be very interested if they can be set to be on for a specific period of the day/night bit.

Bought and installed the battery doorbell ( no previous electrical doorbell so can’t wire it up without a Professional..
Also bought Eufy floodlights and motion camera for rear of the property.

Which is now in place. But needs wiring in as there wasn’t a previous outside light.
But do have a light and two sockets inside the shed, which it’s mounted on.

Can’t see any specific specs on the power requirements. I take it sticking the ends of the power cable I bought into a 13Amp plug then into the existing mains isn’t recommended for the camera and lights that is??

Bought this

https://www.johnlewis.com/eufy-floodlight-cam-2-2k-smart-security-camera-wired-white/p5861644

The power input for the Floodlight camera is 110V-240V.
So pluggable into the mains via a 13A plug an option?
