How To Make Your Home Safer With Solar Lamp Posts

If you have a family, you are most likely always on the lookout for how you can make your home safer. Keeping your doors and windows locked, your garage closed, and the lights on around your house are all ways in which you can keep your property safe from unsavory characters. Some people go as far as having cameras and a security system installed on their property so that they can keep an eye on any suspicious activity that is taking place around their home.

Whether you have a security system, a cluster of cameras, or super bright lights outside of your home, you are going to need electricity to power them. Electricity can be expensive which is why many homeowners are now investing in solar powered lamps, lights, and other items. This article will provide some useful advice on how installing a solar lamp post can make your home safer.

Due to new technology, outdoor lighting no longer has to be expensive or time-consuming. Here are some reasons that installing solar lamp posts can improve your home security.

Making Your Home Safer

Perception versus Reality. An increase in street lights can make you feel safer in the dark, but research shows that there is no true evidence that you are safer on a well-lit street in comparison to one that is not lit up. However, there is truth to perception which means that if you ensure that your home is well lit at all times, you will be keeping unwanted company at bay because they will not want to be seen in the light. 

Neighborhood Safety Program. Does your neighborhood have a safety watch program? It would be hard to see what was going on outside your home if you do not have lights on the street. This could be another reason to consider installing solar lamp posts is that you can help with your neighborhood safety program. Many neighborhood associations are empowering their residents to help keep an eye out for suspicious activity throughout the community. By installing solar lamp posts, you can ensure that your home and street is always well lit, making it easier for vandals to be seen if they were committing a crime. Not only will you be keeping your property safe, but you will also be helping to keep your entire community safer. Now, that is a noble cause!

Providing adequate lighting reduces crime. While keeping your property safe is your main concern as a homeowner, by installing solar lamp posts, you are also helping to provide adequate lighting which will benefit your street and the community at large. Research has proven time and time again that criminals are most active where there is darkness and little supervision by authorities. By providing adequate lighting outside of your home, you are also encouraging others to do the same, while at the same time, you are reducing the feasibility of criminals wreaking havoc on your turf. By investing in solar lamp posts, you are accomplishing your safety goals while reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on utility expenses.

Report unwanted behavior. It goes without saying that if you see something that is not acceptable behavior, then you say something to the appropriate authorities. While this may be the case, it is much harder to see unwanted activity take place if your property is dark. Another benefit to investing in solar lamp posts is that you can always count on having lighting as they will never lose power. 

Light at all times! When you invest in solar lamp posts, you are guaranteeing that you will have light outside of your home come rain or shine! Have you ever experienced a horrible thunderstorm, or a natural disaster? When a terrible storm comes through, it is likely to knock out the electricity in your area. When you have a solar powered lamp post, you donโ€™t have to worry about your street being black while the power is out! The sun will always be able to provide sunshine that will be stored away in your lamp post and can be used at any time. Not only will you have piece of mind by having solar powered lamps, but you will be making a difference in the environment and your neighborhood.

Conclusion

There are many benefits to investing in solar lamp posts. Not only will you be able to provide light outside of your property to keep vandals at bay, you will also be helping out your neighbors by providing light that has been proven to reduce unwanted activity.

You donโ€™t want to be weighed down by an oversized, clunky backpack that boasts all the bells and whistles but delivers nothing more than unnecessary muscle strain.

It has that perfect boho minimalist look that I love, in the perfect color for fall. This has become my go-to handbag for autumn. 

Perfect for all our outdoor adventures, hiking in the mountains, exploring the woods with my kids, and everything motherhood throws at me! ๐Ÿฅพ ๐Ÿง—๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐ŸŒฒ
