Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Lighting Design For Perimeter Fence And Security?
Lighting design for perimeter security is a form of security lighting where lights are installed at the perimeter of a large outdoor space. Lights are positioned along the fence line, pointing inwards or outwards to illuminate critical areas. It’s an integral part of security systems designed to deter intruders and enhance surveillance effectiveness.

What Are The Typical Lighting Standards For Perimeter Security?
Standards vary by location, and local building codes typically govern requirements. Most facilities follow IES guidelines that recommend specific foot candle levels based on security risk. Camera compatibility often determines minimum lighting requirements for effective surveillance integration.
What Are Recommended Foot Candles For Perimeter Security Systems and Fences?
- High Security Areas: 5 fc
- Low Security Areas: 1-2 fc
- Camera Integration Areas: 3-5 fc minimum

Does Perimeter Fence Lighting Design Differ From Perimeter Security Lighting Design?
These terms describe the same lighting approach. The main difference is security camera integration, which typically requires higher foot candle levels for optimal video quality. Camera-integrated systems need uniform light distribution to eliminate shadows.
How Do You Calculate The Ideal Perimeter Security Layout?
We start with a professional lighting plan that maps your outdoor space and identifies critical security zones. The plan positions lights and poles strategically around the perimeter to achieve the required foot candle levels. Photometric calculations ensure uniform coverage without dark spots or glare issues.
Are LED Lights Good For Perimeter And Security Fence Lighting?
LED fixtures are ideal for perimeter security applications. They provide 50,000+ hour lifespans with consistent light output and work excellently with security cameras. Instant-on capability and low maintenance requirements make LEDs the preferred choice for 24/7 security lighting.
How Much Does A Professional Perimeter Lighting Plan Cost?
We provide complimentary lighting plans for qualified perimeter security projects. Our plans include fixture specifications, pole layouts, and photometric analysis to ensure code compliance. The plan helps you make informed decisions and avoid costly installation mistakes.
What Pole Height Is Best For Perimeter Security Lighting?
20-30 foot poles are most common for perimeter applications. Higher poles provide better light distribution and reduce the number of fixtures needed. We calculate optimal pole heights based on fence height, spacing requirements, and security zone coverage in your lighting plan.

Can Motion Sensors Be Integrated With Perimeter Lighting Systems?
Motion detection integration is highly recommended for enhanced security and energy savings. We design systems with base lighting levels that increase to full brightness when motion is detected. This approach provides 40-60% energy savings while maintaining security effectiveness.
How Do Weather Conditions Affect Perimeter Lighting Performance?
We specify IP65-rated fixtures designed for harsh outdoor conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. SeaLED LED drivers and corrosion-resistant housings ensure reliable operation. Proper fixture selection prevents 90% of weather-related failures in perimeter lighting systems.
