Houston is known for our expansive yards and outdoor living. If you have hard to reach areas on your property, you might want to consider wireless spotlights to increase the security at your home or business.<\/p>\n<p>Our local news has been filled with stories of miscreants lurking in the shadows, waiting to gain access to our cars, homes, and businesses. There\u2019ve been too many stories about people arriving home or walking to their car after dark, only to be assaulted and robbed. Robberies have happened in driveways, at the front door, or even in backyards.<\/p>\n<p>Many times we forego adequate lighting in our homes and yards because it\u2019s just too hard to run the wiring. Walkways, gardens, and even sewer and gas lines interfere with our efforts to keep wiring hidden. The good news is wireless spotlights eliminate finding easy paths to where we want to place illumination.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike solar lighting, which needs a sunny spot to charge the batteries, remote spotlights can be placed anywhere. It doesn\u2019t matter how much sunlight your selected spot receives. Since the batteries don\u2019t require daily recharging, the light will always be bright after dark. Just make sure that you replace your wireless spotlight\u2019s batteries when you change those in your smoke detector.<\/p>\n<p>Wireless remote lighting has evolved over the past 10 years. This lighting comes with all the features of hard-wired models. Plus it\u2019s green, because your lighting doesn\u2019t run on electricity.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Features of Wireless Spotlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Motion sensors \u2013 usually up to 30 feet and 180\u00b0<\/li>\n<li>Timer and shut-off<\/li>\n<li>Battery operated \u2013 usually D-cell just like your flashlight<\/li>\n<li>Remote controls similar to the one for your car that have a range up to 75 feet<\/li>\n<li>Long range up to 400 feet on most models<\/li>\n<li>Adjustable light direction and angle<\/li>\n<li>Weatherproof with exterior and interior applications<\/li>\n<li>Choice of bulb \u2013 usually halogen or LED<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Benefits of Wireless Spotlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are many benefits to using wireless lighting. Other than remembering to change the batteries, there aren\u2019t really any drawbacks.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most obvious plusses are<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Light hard to reach areas without running wiring<\/li>\n<li>Energy efficient \u2013 uses batteries<\/li>\n<li>Cost saving \u2013 runs about $5.00 to $10.00 per year with normal use<\/li>\n<li>Most models have a bulb life of 50,000 hours<\/li>\n<li>Easy to install with a drill and screwdriver in 5 to 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Come in colors to blend in with your landscaping<\/li>\n<li>Easy on your wallet \u2013 many excellent models start at $35-$40 per spotlight<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can probably think of many places in your home, yard, or business where you can incorporate wireless lighting into your security system. There is really no reason why you can\u2019t light up all those hard to reach places around your home or on your property.<\/p>\n<p>Safeguard Home Security has been Houston\u2019s security leader for homes and businesses for over 30 years.
