Motion Sensor Lights
Security lighting works best when it is planned for how your property is used. For homes and businesses in Minneapolis, MN, and across the Twin Cities, we walk the property, note entrances, driveways, and walkways, and recommend fixture locations and controls. We install motion sensor lights and floodlights, test every sensor, timer, and light before we leave, and show you the controls.
We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Customers often mention on-time arrivals, fair pricing, polite service, and a clean job site, and we aim to bring that same care to every single security lighting project.
Placement That Improves Visibility
Where a light goes matters as much as which light you choose. We carefully assess entrances, driveways, walkways, and darker corners, and recommend locations that illuminate the area without creating harsh glare for you or your neighbors. We also plan the controls, such as motion sensors, timers, and photocells, so the lighting comes on exactly when and where you want it.
Book Your Security Lighting
Whether you want lights at the front door, along the driveway, or around a business entrance, the best first step is a short conversation. Tell us what you would like to light and where it feels dark, and we will plainly explain what the work involves. If you are in Minneapolis, MN, or across the Twin Cities, call or text us today.

What Security Lighting Includes
Every project begins with a careful walk of your property and a conversation about how you use it, then follows a clear, simple plan we explain plainly before work starts.
We start by walking your property with you and talking through your entrances, driveways, and dark spots. Then we recommend fixtures, placement, and controls, and handle permits when required. We install to code, carefully test every sensor and timer, and show you how the controls work. For brand-new fixtures or converting existing lights, please see our Lighting Installation and LED Retrofitting pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions homeowners and businesses ask about security lighting in Minneapolis, MN, from motion sensor lights and placement to permits, pricing, and getting started with us.
What does security lighting include?
Security lighting covers fixtures and controls that light the outside of your property after dark: motion lights, floodlights, entry lighting, and driveway and garage lighting, with timers and photocells. We plan placement with you, install everything to code, and test it before we leave. Tell us which areas worry you most, and we will recommend where lighting makes the most sense.
How do motion sensor lights work?
A motion sensor light turns on when its sensor detects movement in range and turns off after a set time. Where the sensor is aimed and how sensitive it is affect its behavior, so we plan placement carefully and test each one. We explain how the settings work, so you can tell us if you would like them adjusted.
Will security lighting prevent break-ins?
Security lighting can improve visibility around your property, but we cannot promise that it will prevent a break-in or any other crime. Lighting is one part of keeping a property secure, alongside locks, alarms, and good habits. We explain what lighting can and cannot do for your property, so you know exactly what to expect before you decide.
How is security lighting different from lighting installation or LED retrofitting?
Security lighting is for exterior visibility and uses motion lights, floodlights, and timers or photocells. Lighting installation covers new fixtures such as recessed lights, sconces, and track lighting, and LED retrofitting converts existing fixtures and ballasts. Our Lighting Installation and LED Retrofitting pages explain each. If your project involves more than one, tell us, and we will explain how the pieces fit together.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
We handle the permit for security lighting work that requires one, and we install to code. Not every lighting job needs a permit, so we tell you what applies to yours before we begin. We also explain what to expect at inspection, and you are welcome to ask questions at any point.
How is pricing handled?
We explain the cost of the work before we begin, so there are no surprises. The price depends on the number and type of fixtures, the wiring involved, and what we find, so we do not quote a number before we understand your property. Tell us where you would like lighting, and we will explain what the work involves and what it would cost.
