Types of Residential, Outdoor, and Indoor Security Lighting
Grounded Electric provides many types of lighting fixtures to protect your property.
Tailored Lighting Designs for Residential and Commercial Spaces
Barret Abramow explains that lighting needs are different for homes and businesses. Homes often need lights for pathways, garages, and backyards. Businesses may need stronger lighting for parking lots, doors, and loading zones.
A good design lights up all key areas, removes dark spots, and works with cameras or alarms.


Four Main Types of Security Lighting
- Motion-Activated Lights: Turn on when they detect movement.
- Floodlights: Bright lights that cover large outdoor areas.
- Accent Lighting: Makes landscapes beautiful and safer.
- Continuous Lighting: Stays on all night for high-risk areas.
Flood Lights vs. Security Lights: What’s the Difference?
Floodlights shine on wide areas like yards and parking lots. Security lights often include sensors, timers, and smart features. Using both types gives your property complete protection.

Harry2025-05-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Grounded Electric! The job was to replace a kitchen light fixture and the switches—nothing major, but the electrician who came out was actually both co-owner, which really stood out to me. They were incredibly thorough, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made sure to clean up every few minutes as he worked. On top of that, he was easy to talk to—engaging in conversation just like a friend would, which made the whole experience even better. Great service from start to finish. Highly recommended for all my friends in the area. Amanda Parker2025-05-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful.

I can happily report that all of my interactions with Barrett, owner, and his crew have been nothing short of stellar. They came on time to walk through the house to we see what we needed. They sent an estimate and away we went. Grounded Electric is reliable, well priced, honest and communicative. In addition, to being a wonderful electric company, they are a wealth of information. When we needed a plumber GE recommend someone who was as fantastic as they are. I have already sent several friends to GE. My friends have been equally happy with GE. I could not recommend them more wholeheartedly!
