Not to be Taken "Lightly..." How Proper Lighting Can Prevent Home Burglary


Statistics from the home insurance industry show that more than 6.5 million houses across the U.S. (in every kind of neighborhood) end up as victims of burglary .

As concerned homeowners (like several of us on The Bulldog Bar squad), many are aware that 9 out of 10 of thsse burglaries could have been prevented.

But did you know? Just a few simple steps to eliminate this type of residential break-in risk can easily make your home less enticing and more difficult to enter. Additionally, these few tips may greatly reduce fears of having someone violate the privacy of your own home (that you have proudly worked hard to obtain).

In a nutshell, there are 3 main criteria which can be use as weapons to fight against anyone whose plan is to enter and burglarize your property, including: the amount of light at your dwelling, whether you have secured locks (to buy time for invaders to gain entry) and the heap of noise crooks would have to make in order to actually get through your doors or windows. Here's a more helpful explanation:

1. Be sure you have good illumination securely placed in areas both inside and outside of your territory to prevent tampering. Effective lighting promotes visibility, which is exactly what criminals are definitely trying to avoid.

2. The technology of good ol' motion detector lights has improved a lot  when it comes price & performance, making it a highly effective deterrent. Since motion detector lights are much more affordable these days, just about any homeowner or renter can afford to invest in them. These are definitely a powerful first line of defense when it comes to prowlers sneaking around your property after daylight hours!

3. The versatility of a variable light timer connected to LED technology saves you energy, while working realistically at the same time. Even if you don't have motion-sensitive lighting outside your home, having timers that are designated to turn on and off at certain times indoors could help intimidate those who have been scoping out your house and/or valuables.

4. Shrubbery around your humble abode may add to a pleasant landscaping view from the street...but when it gets out of control, it can serve as an adequate place of concealment for burglars (or sometimes something from the wild). Scavengers on the hunt for electronics, money (or even for something to eat!) can definitely utilize your overgrown bushes for hiding spots when they are desperate to get into the confines of your home.

So by combating all of the above the above by putting proper home burglary prevention methods in place... small investments for your residence (like The Bulldog Bar 's home security product ) could prevent household invasion scenarios.
