Security Lighting

Security lights are an additional safety measure homeowners can use to protect their property. Upon request, NOVEC can install a security light on most existing poles on a customer's property at no cost. There is a small monthly fee for the light. If additional facilities, such as another pole and additional conductor, are needed to install the light, the customer must pay an estimated cost, as outlined in the NOVEC Terms and Conditions, to install these facilities.

NOVEC Security Lights are Dark Sky Friendly

In response to numerous requests from customers and county requirements, NOVEC installs only security lights that are "dark sky friendly." This means that the new security lights help cut glare, reduce sky glow and eliminate wasted energy dollars. These new lights do a better job of aiming light only where it is needed - on the targets of safety, security, and visibility, not up into the sky.

Unless a specific request is received from the local governmental body to use our old-style lights, NOVEC will install only security lights that are designed to be "dark sky friendly". In addition, customers can pay a fee to have their existing security lights replaced or retro-fitted to be "dark sky friendly".

Types of Security Lights

NOVEC offers several options in security lights, all of which are Dark-Sky Friendly. The three most popular styles are:

SalemLuminaire For residential areas, walkways, shopping centers, malls Colonial options: 70 Watt HPS; 100 Watt HPS; and 150 Watt HPS Protected from vandalism in the head of the fixture by not having panels over the bulbs

Street Lighting

Street lights can add a "home town" feeling to a subdivision or public roadway. NOVEC offers various styles of street lights that can carry out the theme of your subdivision and brighten the roads for others. Since the lighting benefits the general public and residents of subdivisions, street lighting is available to county governments and homeowner associations only.
