Security Lighting Installation in New Orleans, LA | MK Electric Man - Electrician

When it comes to protecting your property, one of the simplest and most effective upgrades you can make is installing security lighting. Recently, our team at MK Electric Man - Electrician completed a professional security lighting installation at a residential home in New Orleans, LA. This project focused on enhancing the safety, security, and convenience of the property by adding motion sensor LED flood lights at the front doorway — a vital step in discouraging intruders while improving visibility at night.

We arrived on site with all the necessary tools, equipment, and materials. Here’s what the job entailed:

Motion Sensor Installation: We installed a motion detection unit above the doorway to activate the lights whenever movement is detected within a defined range. This helps catch any unusual activity at the entry point before someone even touches the doorbell.

LED Flood Light Lamps: Two high-efficiency LED flood lights were installed, providing bright, wide-range coverage. These not only improve visibility at night but also help reduce energy costs compared to traditional halogen lamps.

Concealed Electrical Wiring: One of the client’s main requests was to maintain the aesthetics of the home’s exterior. Our team ran all new wiring inside the walls, ensuring that everything was fully concealed from view. No messy conduit or surface-mounted wires — just a clean, professional finish.

As part of our standard electrical service, we checked the existing electrical panel and circuit load to ensure the new lights wouldn't overload any circuits. The home had available capacity, so no panel upgrade was needed. However, we still verified grounding, breaker condition, and circuit labeling for long-term safety.

The motion sensor and lighting system were securely connected to a dedicated outdoor-rated circuit. Once installed, the lights were tested multiple times for range, sensitivity, and responsiveness — working flawlessly with a consistent and immediate response to movement.
