Security Lighting Assessments

Tricorn provides security lighting assessments for apartment complexes and residential communities. Our team evaluates illumination levels, visibility conditions, and nighttime lighting performance to identify areas that may contribute to safety concerns.

What Is a Security Lighting Assessment

Security lighting assessments evaluate how lighting conditions affect visibility and safety across a property.

For multifamily communities, lighting conditions influence how easily residents and visitors can observe activity in parking areas, walkways, entrances, and shared spaces.
Our assessors review illumination levels, identify insufficiently illuminated areas, and evaluate whether lighting supports clear visibility throughout the property at night.

The goal is to identify conditions where lighting may reduce visibility or create concealment opportunities.

Key Lighting Conditions We Evaluate

Security lighting assessments examine environmental conditions that influence visibility and safety across residential communities.

Illumination Levels

Our assessors measure lighting levels to determine whether parking areas, walkways, and entrances provide adequate visibility at night. Low illumination levels can reduce visibility and increase safety concerns.

Visibility and Sightlines

Lighting should allow residents and staff to observe activity around buildings and common areas. Our team evaluates whether lighting conditions support clear sightlines across the property.

Obstructions

We identify locations where trees, buildings, or fixtures create shadow areas that limit visibility and observation.

Lighting Placement and Coverage

Our team reviews lighting placement to determine whether fixtures provide consistent coverage across important areas such as parking lots, walkways, and building entrances.

Are Lighting Conditions Creating Security Risks?

01

Property and Risk Review

Before the site visit, our team reviews available information about the property including layout, features, and known safety concerns. This helps identify areas that require focused evaluation.

02

Fixture Identification and Layout Review

During the assessment, we identify lighting fixture types, placement, and coverage patterns to understand how illumination is distributed across the property.

03

Nighttime Observation

Our assessments are conducted after dark to evaluate real lighting conditions. We review visibility, illumination levels, and shadowed areas across parking areas, walkways, entrances, and shared spaces.

04

Report and Client Review

Clients receive a written report and web link documenting observations, photographs, and recommended considerations. Our team reviews the findings and discusses next steps.

Our assessor then meets with you to review the findings and discuss considerations that may improve property safety and reduce potential security risks.
