security lights

Deterrent outdoor lamps

Security lights are outdoor lights designed to deter intruders or illuminate dark areas for safety.

They typically activate automatically via motion sensors or timers: The security lights came on when I pulled into the driveway.

Common around homes, parking lots, and commercial buildings.
