Start with the area that needs to be visible
An entrance path needs even illumination without glare; a driveway may benefit from controlled directional light; a boundary needs a considered balance between coverage and disturbance to neighbours. We discuss how the space is used rather than assume one powerful floodlight is the answer.
For security lighting, the position of sensors, gates and movement routes matters. A sensor pointed at swaying branches, moving traffic or a busy pavement can cause constant false activations. The location and detection settings should be planned together.
