Important notes
  • Check sensor blind spots, nuisance triggering, camera interaction, glare to neighbours and roads, shielding, product environment, and electrical cable routes.
  • Outdoor electrical work, obtrusive-light assessment, and Australian requirements need qualified review; this planner makes no automatic compliance claim.

Formulas

  • \(\displaystyle A = W \times D\)
  • \(\displaystyle n = \max(N_{\mathrm{zones}},\lceil A/A_{\mathrm{beam}}\rceil)\)
  • Security lighting can support visibility but does not guarantee safety, crime prevention, or compliance.

Residential Security Lighting Planner is a planning aid. Keep the target source, product data, measurement method, and project assumptions with the result. Confirm compliance, installation, certification, and safety decisions with the responsible professional.
