Lighting around your property is a crucial factor for effective burglary protection, says Mario Pichelmaier from Amper Ausfperrdienst in Munich. Burglars must not have the opportunity to work under cover of darkness. Therefore, the rule is: your garden should be fully illuminated in an emergency – ideally controllable from inside the house. No door, terrace, or window should be accessible without triggering a spotlight via a motion detector.

LED lighting is particularly suitable in this case to keep energy consumption as low as possible.

The entire front of the house should be brightly illuminated with powerful halogen floodlights – experience shows this is a very effective deterrent against burglars.

In general, intruders should not have any opportunity to hide in dark areas on your property. This must be taken into account when planning effective lighting. In addition, burglars should not be able to easily access the power supply so that they cannot manipulate or cut cables.If you are away from home for a longer period, for example while on vacation, you can program timers to simulate your presence. The professionals at Amper Ausfperrdienst Munich will be happy to advise you on this.
