How Outdoor and Landscape Lighting Can Deter Burglaries

Make it look as if someone is at home. This is the advice Police Lt. Brian Piekarski of Sagamore Hills, Ohio gave to individuals who want to prevent burglars from targeting their houses. “Keep your home lit up. Outside lights are great. Indoor lights are good,” Piekarski was quoted as saying by Fox 8 Cleveland, following a string of burglaries in his neighborhood. “The darker your home, the more attractive it is to somebody who wants to burglarize it, because it’s going to be less noticeable for them kicking in the front door.” Take note of that line: outside lights are great. Strategically placed outdoor or landscape lighting can effectively boost the safety and security of one’s home, on top of enhancing the beauty of its exteriors.
