Yard Lighting
Commercial yard lighting designed around your site
Many commercial sites keep working long after dark. HGVs arrive and leave, forklifts load trailers and staff walk to their cars. Good yard lighting keeps those movements safe, and it makes your site a far less appealing target for intruders.
Lighting also has a direct effect on your security systems. Even cameras with good night vision perform better when the scene is properly lit, and a well lit yard makes faces, vehicles and number plates easier to identify.
MSME Security designs and installs yard lighting for commercial and industrial sites across the East Midlands, planned alongside your CCTV and perimeter security so that every part of the site is covered.
What we install
Yard lighting we install
LED floodlights
Efficient LED floodlights on buildings and canopies to light yards, loading docks and service areas.
Column mounted lighting
Lighting on columns for car parks, trailer parks and large open yards away from buildings.
Wall mounted lighting
Lights on building elevations, entrances and walkways, often fitted alongside cameras.
Sensors and timers
Motion sensors, dusk to dawn photocells and timers so lights are on when they are needed and off when they are not.
Lighting for CCTV
Lighting positioned to support camera coverage, reducing glare and dark spots in the image.
Controlled light spill
Fittings chosen and aimed to light your site without causing problems for neighbours or passing traffic.
Typical uses
Where good lighting matters most
Loading docks and yards
Safer conditions for drivers, banksmen and forklift operators working after dark.
Car parks and walkways
Staff and visitors feel safer walking to and from their vehicles.
Perimeters and fence lines
Lit boundaries deter intruders and give cameras a clear view.
Gatehouses and entrances
Lighting at gates and barriers helps ANPR cameras and intercoms work reliably at night.
Good to know
Lighting and security working together
Darkness gives intruders cover. Lighting removes it, and when it is combined with CCTV and an intruder alarm, anyone on your site at night is more likely to be seen, recorded and detected.
We look at how your site is used after dark, where vehicles and people move, and where your cameras need the most help, then design lighting that covers those areas without wasting energy.
LED fittings with sensors and photocells keep running costs down, and because we install both the lighting and the cameras, the two are planned together from the start.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about yard lighting
Does yard lighting improve CCTV footage?
Yes. Cameras perform better when a scene is evenly lit. Good lighting makes faces, vehicles and number plates easier to identify and reduces dark spots in the image.
Can yard lights come on only when needed?
Yes. Motion sensors, photocells and timers can control when lights switch on, which saves energy and draws attention to movement on site.
Will the lighting disturb neighbours?
We choose and aim fittings to light your site while controlling light spill onto neighbouring properties and roads.
Can you light a large yard or trailer park?
Yes. Large open areas usually need column mounted lighting as well as fittings on buildings. We design the layout after inspecting the site.
