Hi all,
I am moving into a duplex and want to install some extra security lighting. Are there general design rules for optimum placement/layout of lights? I guess trying to light up all corners and pathways is the general rule.
Also I've seen a few solar powered sensor LED lights available. I guess these are DIY install. Does anyone have experience with these? Are they as good as mains powered LED security lights?
Security lighting design & solar powered options?

I had a look. They look pretty good but I think I prefer solar powered that way they are set and forget.
Only got to change the batteries about every 6 months or so

We have sensor security solar powered LED lights in the back yard of our townhouse and in the garage and they are bloody great! From Bunnings. Not sure what brand though sorry. If they muck up, just take em back and swap them!
Solar LED sensor lights are not as good as mains powered ones...but if you're only illuminating a small area and you don't want to pay a sparky, they can do the job.
I bought one for our bin store down the back which was too difficult to get power to. I think it cost me about $15 from eBay. It still works after 2 years and provides enough light (just) to find your way to the bins and not trip over stuff. When it stops working I will buy another!
