Security light playing up or not working at all? I'll check what's wrong, fix it if I can, and adjust the settings so it triggers properly. Get your outdoor lighting working like it should.
### Why Security Lights Stop Working
Your security light was brilliant. Now it's **useless**: - Doesn't come on when you approach - Stays on all night wasting electricity - Comes on randomly for no reason - Just dead completely
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Most security light problems are simple fixes - bulb, sensor angle, or settings. Rarely needs full replacement unless it's genuinely knackered.

What to Expect

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Need multiple lights checked?** If you've got several around the house, I can check them all in one visit. Usually faster than separate callouts. **Old halogen light?** These use 300-500W and cost a fortune to run. Modern LED security lights use 10-20W, last longer, and are brighter. If yours is ancient, replacement might save money. **Want it on a schedule too?** I can wire in a timer override so your security light also comes on automatically at set times, or stays off during certain hours.
Frequently Asked Questions about Security light check in Teignmouth
Why has my security light stopped working?
Usually it's a dead bulb, the sensor's dirty or misaligned, or the sensitivity settings are wrong. Sometimes the wiring's come loose or water's got in. I'll check all of it and tell you what's actually wrong.
The light comes on randomly at all hours - can you fix that?
Yes - usually that's an over-sensitive sensor picking up cats, plants moving, or car headlights. I adjust the sensor angle and sensitivity so it only triggers on actual people approaching your house.
Do you carry replacement bulbs?
I carry common LED bulbs for most security lights. If yours needs something specific (halogen, weird fitting, high wattage), I'll let you know and can grab one from the shop while I'm there.
What if the light is old and keeps breaking?
I'll be honest with you - if it's an old halogen light that's on its last legs, replacing with a modern LED version might cost less long-term. I'll check what's wrong first, then advise whether repair or replace makes sense.
Can you adjust when it comes on and how long it stays on?
Yes - most security lights have dials for time (how long light stays on) and sensitivity (how easily it triggers). I'll set them to what actually works for your property and show you how to adjust if needed.
