Security lighting

We install and maintain floodlights in public spaces to increase security and the safety of those using them. Floodlights may be used to light up a specific sign, car park or garden feature. They can also provide extra security for a business or house after dark.

You’ll need a suitable SA Power Networks Stobie pole nearby that the new light can be fixed to. Once connected the light will automatically run each night from dusk until dawn. We’ll also remove it once it’s no longer required.

How can I identify a security light?

Security lights look different to standard street lights. A security light is usually a single LED floodlight that is fixed directly to a Stobie pole. It is angled downwards to illuminate a specific area such as a driveway, car park, yard, sign or garden feature.

Security lights are not part of the public street lighting network and are installed only at the request of a customer for additional lighting or security on their property.

How can I apply?

You can apply in the following ways: 

What will it cost?

An initial connection fee covers the floodlight, installation and eventual removal. You will also be charged a small annual maintenance and service fee. These can be found in our Connections & Ancillary Network Services manual (Manual 18) in our Resource Library.

Your retailer will send a separate invoice for your power use.

What type of security light will be installed?

We currently install a 180W LED floodlight that provides a clean white light.

How can I have a security light removed?

If a security light is no longer required, it can be removed by SA Power Networks. To request removal, please email roadlighting@sapowernetworks.com.au.

Only the person or business responsible for the billing of the security light can request its removal. The billing customer will also need to contact AGL to cancel the retailer account.

Once we receive your request, our Road Lighting team will advise you of the next steps and expected removal timeframes. Our crews will then attend and remove the light and associated equipment.
