Security & Motion Lighting in Culver City

If we’re adding new circuits, new junction boxes, or substantially altering wiring, the City of Culver City Building and Safety Division requires an electrical permit. Like-for-like fixture replacements may not require a permit. We review your scope during the assessment, handle the application, and coordinate inspection so your installation meets California Electrical Code and Title 24 requirements.

We design for targeted illumination: typically 1–3 foot-candles at entries and 0.2–1 foot-candle along paths, with shielded fixtures and 2700K–3000K LEDs to reduce glare. We aim and shroud lights to limit spill across property lines—especially important in close-lot areas near Downtown and along alleys—while still providing clear visibility for people and cameras.

Yes. We install photocells, timers, and motion sensors that integrate with popular smart ecosystems. You’ll be able to set schedules, receive alerts, and adjust settings from your phone. For homes near Ivy Station or Helms where Wi‑Fi can be busy, we can hardwire controls or use robust wireless protocols to ensure dependable operation.

Absolutely. Alley-facing garages are common in Culver City. We use cutoff fixtures, precise aiming, and motion activation with short timeouts so the light is there when you need it but doesn’t stay on unnecessarily. Shielding and narrow-beam optics keep light on your driveway and door, not in neighbors’ windows.
