These alarm activated floodlights are also an effective part of construction security because the light up any dark areas of your site. This helps to eliminate any shadows where potential intruders can hide and remain unseen by passers by as well as your site CCTV system.

The alarmed motion sensor lights can be put up anywhere on your building site, including on the fencing of the exterior of the building site or on scaffolding to illuminate the spaces below.
