There are many different types of security lights on the market, each with its own perks and drawbacks. The type of light that you choose will have a direct impact on what kind of surveillance system you can install. For example, if you choose to use invisible or infrared (IR) light for your CCTV cameras, these lights will allow your camera to see at night by sending out a large amount of infrared radiation and letting the IR reflect off objects that it can then capture on film.
Invisible lighting has the advantage of being invisible to the human eye, and can work at longer distances than visible light. It also allows for black-and-white images, so it can be a good choice for a surveillance system that does not require color footage.
Visible light, on the other hand, can cause glare in camera lenses, and can be seen by any intruders that are close to the camera. It is also not as efficient at covering a larger area as invisible or infrared lighting.
