Security or

Protective
Lighting
provides sufficient
illumination to areas
during hours of
darkness
Designed to:
A.) Emphasize the
illumination of the parameter
barrier and the outside approach
to it;
 B.)to concentrate on the area and the building within the
parameter
- Should produce sufficient light to create psychological
deterrent to intrusion as well as to detection virtually certain the
event entry was made.
-Must avoid casting glare that would produce the visibility
of security personnel while creating glare detect to an intruder
-Must avoid casting annoying dangerous lights into
neighboring areas
-Poles should be within power lines should be buried and
the switch box or boxes protected
PURPOSE OF PROTECTIVE LIGHTING
1.) It improves visibility so that intruder can be seen,
identified and apprehend
2.) It gives psychological fear, which serve as a deterrent
to thieves pilferer trespasses and
3.)It makes easier. The routine of works of guards in
identifying employees, vehicles during night
4.) If placed in certain areas, may even reduce the
numbers of stationary guards and instead, may roving
patrols at night.
IMPORTANCE OF
PROTECTIVE LIGHTING
1.) Program Serve as deterrent to violators
2.) Assisting security force
3.) Serve as an essential elements of an
integrated physical security program
SECURITY/ PROTECTIVE LIGHTING TECHNIQUE

1. Security lightning should enable a guard to observe clearly the activities around
and inside the premises within his jurisdiction.
2. In planning, high contrast between intruder and background should be
provided.
3. Lighting boundaries and approaches, as well the area and structures are useful
to discourage unauthorized entries and reveal identify of persons.
4.Effective lightning should:
a. Deter or discourage attempts to enter the premises
b. Make detection more likely if entry is attempted
5. If lightning at night cannot be provided due to impracticability other means of
protection must be made like additional guards.
 Types of
Security/Protective
Lightning
1. CONTINOUS
LIGHTNING/PROTECTIVE
LIGHTNING LUMINARY
- Most common type consisting of fixed
series of luminaries.
- It
is commonly used on entry gates of
employees and vehicles .
The most common
familiar outdoor security
lightning
A. GLARE PROTECTION TYPE

-THE INTENSITY IS FOCUSED

TO THE INTRUDER WHILE
THE OBSERVER OR THE
GUARD REMAINS IN
COMPARATIVE DARKNESS.
GLARE PRTECTION LIGHT
B. CONTROLLED LIGHTNING- THE LIGHTNING IS
FOCUSED ON CERTAIN OBJECTS THAN THE
BACKGROUND.
-WIDTH OF THE LIGHTER STOP CAN BE
CONTROLLED AND ADJUSTED TO SUIT THE
SECURITY NEEDS.
2. STANDBY LIGHTING – SIMILAR TO CONTINUOUS
LIGHTNING BUT CAN BE TURNED ON MANUALLY
OR BY SPECIFIC DEVICE OR OTHER AUTOMATIC
MEANS, WHEN THERE IS SUSPICION OF ENTRY.

3. EMERGENCY LIGHTNING- STAND BY LIGHTNING

WHICH CAN BE UTILIZED IN THE EVENT OF
ELECTRIC FAILURE
TYPES OF
EQUIPMENT
STREET LIGHTS – USED IN PARKING
AREAS
SEARCH LIGHTS – HIGHLY FOCUSED INCANDESCENT
LAMPS USED TO PINPOINT POTENTIAL TROUBLE SPOT.
FLOOD LIGHTS- PROJECT LIGHT IN A CONCENTRATED
BEAM USED IN BOUNDARIES AND FENCES.
FRESNEL LIGHTS- WIDE BEAM UNITS PRIMARILY USED TO
EXTEND ILLUMINATION IN LONG HORIZONTAL STRIPS TO
PROTECT APPROACHES TO PERIMETER BARRIER.
TYPES OF
LIGHT
LAMPS
INCANDESCENT LAMP
1. INCANDESCENT LAMPS
– common bulbs in which light is produced by the resistance
of the filament to electric current .
- Least expensive in terms of energy and has the advantage of
instant illumination when the switch is on .
- Widely used in household and commercial building
- Less efficient than several other modern types of light bulbs.
. QUARTZ LAMPS- VERY BRIGHT
LIGHT
GASEOUS DISCHARGE LAMPS- ECONOMICAL USE BUT
TAKE 2-5 MINUTES TO LIGHT WHICH MAY BE A
DISADVANTAGE IN INDUSTRIAL SECURITY LIGHTNING.
2. QUARTZ LAMPS- very bright light
3. GASEOUS DISCHARGE LAMPS- economical use but take 2-5 minutes to
light which may be a disadvantage in industrial security lightning.
a. MERCURY VAPOR – blue-green color.
- S35-65 lumens/watts
- High intensity , clear white light output (advantage)
- Used for large areas (sport arena, warehouse, etc)
- Becoming obsolete due to the higher efficiency and better color balance of
metal halide lamps.
- Does not project long distance light and it was classified as a hazardous waste
because of mercury content (disadvantage)
