How Our Security Lighting Installation Process Works


Site Assessment — We assess the installation location, confirm the existing junction box and circuit are suitable, and determine the best fixture position and angle for maximum coverage.
Power Shutoff — We safely shut off power at the breaker to the circuit serving the installation location before touching any wiring.
Old Fixture Removal — Existing fixture (if any) is carefully removed and wiring is inspected for condition and correct wire gauge.
Wiring and Mounting — New security light is wired to the existing circuit using proper connections, weatherproof wire nuts or push connectors, and a weatherproof electrical box cover. The fixture is mounted securely to the junction box.
Motion Sensor Configuration — Motion sensor settings are configured: detection range (20-70 feet typical), sensitivity, duration (how long light stays on after motion), and daylight cutoff (so light doesn't activate during the day).
Smart Feature Setup (if applicable) — For smart security lights, we connect to your Wi-Fi, complete the app pairing, set motion zones, and configure notifications.
Operational Test — Power is restored and we trigger the motion sensor and/or photocell to verify correct operation.
Final Walkthrough — We walk you through how to adjust settings and operate any smart features before we leave.

A few simple steps will help your security lighting installation go quickly and smoothly:


Identify Installation Locations — Walk your property and note exactly where you want new security lights installed. Common locations include garage corners, back corners of the house, driveway entry, and back/side yard.
Confirm Electrical Panel Access — Make sure your electrical panel is accessible on installation day, especially if we may need to add or verify breakers.
Have Your Wi-Fi Info Ready (Smart Lights) — If you're installing Ring, Nest, or another smart security light, have your Wi-Fi network name and password available. You'll also want the Ring or Google Home app downloaded on your phone before we arrive.
Clear the Work Area — Move any vehicles, storage, ladders, or other items away from the installation locations so we have clear, safe access.
Locate Your Existing Exterior Outlets — If you have existing GFCI outdoor outlets, note their locations in case we need to reference the circuit they're on.

Before we leave your property, every security lighting installation is put through our complete verification checklist:


Power-On Functional Test — We restore power and verify the fixture illuminates correctly at full brightness
Motion Sensor Trigger Test — We physically walk through the detection zone to confirm the PIR motion sensor activates correctly and the light turns on
Detection Range Check — We verify the sensor detects motion at the intended range and angle, adjusting the sensor head as needed
Duration Setting Verification — We confirm the light stays on for the programmed duration after motion detection and then turns off
Photocell Test (Dusk-to-Dawn Fixtures) — Where applicable, we cover the photocell to simulate nighttime and verify the photocell activates the fixture correctly
Weatherproof Connection Inspection — We visually inspect all outdoor wire connections to confirm weatherproof covers, proper seating, and secure mounting
Smart Light App Verification — For Ring, Nest, or other smart fixtures, we confirm the app shows the device online, motion alerts are active, and camera (if applicable) is live
Fixture Aim Verification — We confirm each fixture head is aimed correctly for maximum coverage of the intended area

Frequently Asked Questions — Security Lighting Installation Atlanta

Do I need an electrician to install a security light?
Standard security lights operate on 120V line voltage — the same as your home's regular outlets. While a handy homeowner can swap a fixture at an existing box, incorrect wiring can create shock hazards, fire risks, or code violations. Arcitech Logistics handles this correctly and safely every time, including all required GFCI protection for outdoor circuits.

How much does security light installation cost in Atlanta?
A single security light replacement at an existing junction box typically runs $89-$149 in labor. New circuit rough-in for a location with no existing wiring is priced separately based on distance and complexity. Multi-fixture packages are available. All pricing is provided in writing before work begins.

Can you install Ring Floodlight Cam or Ring Spotlight Cam?
Yes — we install, wire, and fully configure Ring Floodlight Cam, Ring Spotlight Cam, and other smart security cameras with integrated lighting. This includes Wi-Fi connection, app setup, motion zone configuration, and notification setup.

How long does security light installation take?
A standard single security light replacement at an existing box takes 30-60 minutes. Multi-fixture installations (2-4 locations) typically take 2-3 hours. New circuit runs take longer depending on panel distance and routing complexity.

Do I need a permit for security lighting?
Replacing a like-for-like security fixture at an existing box typically does not require a permit. Installing new circuits or making significant changes to your home's wiring may require a permit in some Atlanta-area jurisdictions. We'll advise you based on your specific project.

What kind of security light should I get?
For most residential applications, a 2-head motion-sensor LED floodlight (20W-50W LED, replacing 150W-300W halogen) provides excellent coverage at low cost. For integrated camera + light solutions, Ring and Nest offer excellent products. We're happy to advise on the best fixture for your specific needs.
