The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Some places should stay dark most of the night but light up when someone arrives: a side gate, the walk to the garage, the back corner of the lot. Motion-activated lighting does just that, saving energy and giving a clear signal that someone is there.

We install motion-activated lighting for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We pick sensors and fixtures that work well outdoors, set sensitivity so squirrels and swaying branches do not trigger them, set the on-time and brightness and tie motion zones into the rest of the system.

Why owners choose it

Four things done right.

Light when needed

Areas stay dark until someone approaches.

Fewer false triggers

Sensor position and sensitivity are tuned to ignore small animals and branches.

Gentle, not harsh

Fixtures brighten gradually and are shielded to avoid glare.

Part of the system

Motion zones can sit alongside your regular lighting.

How it goes

From first call to motion-activated lighting.

  1. 01

    Pick the areas

    We choose where motion lighting makes the most sense.

  2. 02

    Place sensors

    We find sensor positions that see the approach and ignore the noise.

  3. 03

    Install and connect

    Fixtures and sensors are installed with line-voltage work by the right trade.

  4. 04

    Tune at night

    We adjust sensitivity, timing and brightness after dark.

Where we work

We do this work in 28 cities, from Nashville and Franklin to Murfreesboro, Gallatin, Columbia and Dickson.

Good questions

Motion-Activated Lighting: common questions

Will animals set off the lights?

Large animals may, but sensor placement and sensitivity can be tuned to ignore most small ones. We adjust on site.

Can motion lights be combined with decorative lights?

Yes. Decorative lights can stay on a schedule while motion lights cover the areas that should stay dark most of the time.
