Security & Motion Lighting in Culver City

Most exterior lighting upgrades with new circuits or fixture locations require an electrical permit through the City of Culver City Building and Safety Division. If your project is near residences or changes site lighting significantly, Planning may review shielding and light spill. We prepare the submittal, coordinate with the City, and schedule rough and final inspections.

We use shielded fixtures with appropriate optics and mounting heights, aim lights away from windows, select warmer color temperatures where suitable, and confirm results with photometric modeling. Motion sensors and dimmed “standby” modes further limit unnecessary light. The goal is clear visibility on your property without spillover into adjacent residences.

Design and permitting usually take 1–3 weeks, depending on scope and City review. On-site installation typically requires 1–3 days for most commercial properties. We can sequence work off-hours to avoid disrupting tenants and coordinate inspections to keep the schedule on track.

Yes. We can program motion zones to increase light levels when cameras detect activity or when access control schedules change. Many fixtures support 0–10V dimming or wireless nodes that tie into security platforms, improving video quality and situational awareness without running lights at full output all night.

Yes. We design with photocontrols, automatic shutoff, and motion-based bi-level lighting where applicable. Sequences of operation are documented, and we coordinate any required lighting controls acceptance testing to ensure your system complies with Title 24 and passes final inspection.
