Lighting Survey

Security lighting is a powerful crime deterrent. By creating well-lit environments, we reduce the opportunity for criminal activity and enhance safety for people and property. Effective lighting improves surveillance, defines property boundaries, and reduces fear among residents.

Florida’s HB 837 mandates specific lighting standards for multifamily residential properties. Parking lots must be illuminated to at least 1.8 foot-candles, while other areas like walkways, laundry rooms, common areas, and porches require adequate lighting. While the exact foot-candle measurement isn’t specified for all areas, the overall goal is to provide sufficient illumination for security.
