If you’ve ever fumbled for your keys in the dark or worried about what’s lurking just beyond the porch, then you’re not alone. Whether you’re a homeowner, a tenant, or a small business owner, one thing is clear: outdoor lighting matters not just for curb appeal, but for your safety and peace of mind, too.
Motion-sensing lights are one of the smartest ways to protect your property without breaking the bank. They’re like a quiet-but-powerful security guard: watchful, energy-efficient, and always on duty (even when you’re not). But with so many options on the market, how do you know which one is right for you?
In this brief article brought to you by the outdoor lighting professionals at Abulous Lighting, we share our two cents on choosing the right motion-sensing lights for your outdoor oasis. If you'd like to consult with a lighting expert, then call or message Abulous Lighting to get in touch.
Motion-sensing outdoor lights turn on automatically when movement is detected. This makes them ideal for everything from deterring intruders and lighting your path when you come home to saving electricity (since they don't stay on all night). They’re perfect for entrances, garages, pathways, yards, and even back patios
Before you buy the first one you see online or at the hardware store, here are a few things to keep in mind:
With all that said, you're probably wondering which products stand out nowadays. Here are a few suggestions - in no particular order - to get the ball rolling:
Motion-sensing lights are a solid first step, but they’re even more effective when used with other landscape lighting features. Think about how your property looks and feels after dark. Are there dark corners, shadowy paths, or entry points that someone could hide near? Adding landscape lighting to those areas can work magic.

Absolute Lighting installed my outdoor flood lights 2 years ago and they are beautiful! They did such a great job that I used them to setup and take down the Christmas lights for the past 2 years. I would highly recommend them. Frank always responds to questions and automatically puts me on the schedule for set up and take down of the Christmas Lights.
We love Abulous lighting and have been using them for years They are very responsive and professional and will come back no questions asked for any follow up work Good pricing and highly trustworthy Frank, the owner, is a true stand up guy. I recommend without reservation
Frank and the team at Abulous were great to work with. They came out and retro-upgraded some previous lighting that we had done a few years back and made it look as seamless and continuous as possible. They also worked with us on the best (& most economical) way to light up a hard to reach area of our yard. They also followed up with us after we had another group of workers "disturb" some of the lighting wires and came back out and fixed everything back up again. Very friendly, dependable local resource who do great work. Highly recommend.
After reviewing multiple companies we contracted with Abilous Lighting to create outside accent lighting for our home, backyard patio, walkways, & fire pit. Their ideas and design were the best! It was a pleasure working with Frank Hasty, who did the design, and his crew of Brandon & Rusty who performed the work. All were excellent to work with. We are very happy with Abulous Lighting.
