PIR floodlights, dusk-to-dawn lights and smart security systems installed across Preston. NAPIT-registered, fully certified and IP-rated for Lancashire weather.
Preston is the administrative and commercial heart of Lancashire, with a vibrant city centre around the Guild Hall and Fishergate, a major university campus, extensive residential suburbs and thriving industrial estates. From Victorian terraces in Avenham and Ribbleton to modern executive homes in Fulwood and Walton-le-Dale, Preston properties span every type imaginable. ESI Electrical installs PIR floodlights, smart security lighting, commercial multi-zone systems and industrial-grade floodlighting across all Preston postcodes — PR1 through PR5. Whether you manage student HMOs in the city centre, own a family home in Fulwood or run a warehouse on an industrial estate, we have the right security lighting solution.
Avenham, Ribbleton and the surrounding inner-city areas of Preston have dense concentrations of Victorian terraced houses, many converted into student HMOs and multi-let properties. These properties have narrow side passages, shared rear yards and high turnover of occupants, making security lighting essential for both tenant safety and property protection. We install communal PIR floodlights for shared entrances and rear yards, with timer controls that activate automatically at dusk. Individual flats benefit from doorway PIR lights that illuminate entrances when tenants arrive after dark. For Preston HMO landlords, we offer multi-property packages with consistent specifications across your portfolio, digital certificates and a maintenance service that ensures lights remain operational throughout the year.
The University of Central Lancashire campus and the surrounding student areas — including streets around Adelphi, Plungington and the city centre student halls — have thousands of properties that need reliable security lighting. Student houses and flats are frequently targeted by opportunist thieves because they often contain valuable electronics and may be unoccupied during holidays. We install cost-effective, reliable PIR floodlights for student properties, with vandal-resistant housings that withstand the rougher treatment common in shared houses. Smart systems allow landlords to monitor lighting status remotely and receive alerts if lights are tampered with. We also install emergency lighting for escape routes in larger student houses, ensuring compliance with HMO regulations.
Fulwood, Walton-le-Dale and the southern suburbs of Preston feature some of the finest executive homes in Lancashire — large detached properties on generous plots with long driveways, extensive gardens and gated entrances. These prestigious homes need comprehensive multi-zone security lighting that integrates with smart home systems, CCTV and intruder alarms. We install driveway entry sensors that trigger lights at the property boundary, perimeter beam lighting along garden boundaries, and smart floodlights that send instant phone alerts when motion is detected. For Fulwood executive homes with swimming pools, tennis courts or garden entertainment areas, we install dual-purpose lighting that provides ambient evening illumination and switches to security mode when the area is unoccupied.
Fishergate, the Guild Hall area and Preston city centre have hundreds of retail units, restaurants, bars and professional offices that need robust after-hours security lighting. We install commercial-grade PIR floodlights with anti-vandal housings for shopfronts, ensuring any intrusion attempt triggers immediate full illumination visible across the street. Timer controls activate automatically at closing time, and smart systems allow business owners to monitor their premises remotely. For the bars and restaurants around Winckley Square and the city centre nightlife district, we install dual-purpose lighting that provides ambient evening illumination for outdoor seating and switches to security mode after closing. Multi-zone systems cover rear service yards, delivery areas and staff car parks.
Preston has extensive industrial estates — including the Walton Summit estate, the Bluebell Way industrial area and numerous business parks — with warehouses, factories and distribution centres that need heavy-duty security lighting. We install high-output LED floodlighting for industrial perimeters, car parks and loading bays, with PIR activation that triggers full illumination when motion is detected after hours. Multi-zone systems allow different areas to be controlled independently — full perimeter lighting all night, with additional activation for loading bays and staff entrances only when needed. Smart systems integrate with existing intruder alarm and CCTV infrastructure, triggering recording and alerts when security lighting activates. All industrial installations comply with HSE requirements for workplace lighting and local authority planning requirements for light spillage.
Ashton, Lea and the northern residential suburbs of Preston feature 1930s semis, post-war family homes and newer developments with front gardens, driveways and rear patios. These family homes need practical security lighting that covers all access points without overwhelming the neighbourhood with excessive brightness. We install PIR floodlights above front doors and garages, with additional coverage for side passages and rear gardens. Adjustable sensitivity settings prevent false triggers from passing pedestrians on the pavement while ensuring genuine intruders are illuminated. Smart systems allow working families to check their property status remotely, receive alerts when children arrive home after dark, and control lighting schedules from the office.
Preston security lighting pricing reflects the diversity of the citys property stock. A single PIR floodlight for a terraced house or flat costs £100–£150. A two-to-three light system for a semi-detached or detached suburban house costs £300–£500. Smart security lighting costs from £180 per unit. Multi-zone systems for executive homes in Fulwood start from £800. Commercial shopfront systems on Fishergate start from £500. Industrial estate warehouse floodlighting is priced individually based on the area to be covered and the lux levels required. All Preston quotes include a free site survey and tailored specification.
