Security & Accent Lighting for Arizona Homes
Most home security lighting is two cheap floods on a motion sensor — bright, harsh, and unwelcoming. AE designs security as a layered system: visibility where you need it, warmth where you live, and scene control so the right lights come on at the right times.
Where security lighting matters
We design around the dark spots that actually need visibility, not generic 'cover the yard with floods':
- Front entry and door surrounds
- Driveways and gate approaches
- Side yards and gates
- Pool deck and pool perimeter
- Dark backyard corners and rear gates
- Pathway hazards — steps, grade changes, deck edges
Accent + safety, layered
Good lighting solves both. AE LEDs trim + landscape lighting together give you architecture-grade ambience and the visibility you need for safety.
- Down-lights on entries and side yards
- Path lights spaced for actual walking, not decoration
- Uplights on perimeter trees for ambient visibility
- Trim lighting in security-white scene for after-hours
- Motion-triggered scenes optional
Cost guidance
Security and accent lighting is typically scoped alongside landscape lighting. Add-on packages start around $1,500–$3,000; full layered plans for larger yards run $5,000–$10,000+.
Do you integrate with my existing security cameras?+
Lighting is designed to support your cameras' low-light performance — better light, better footage.
Can the lights respond to motion?+
Yes, motion-triggered scenes can be programmed alongside scheduled scenes.
What about side yards I never use?+
Side yards are where most security lighting failures happen. We light them properly — not with one flood.
