Private Outdoor Lighting

An outdoor light provides dusk-to-dawn lighting, offering an extra measure of security for your home. Outdoor lighting that eliminates shadows can discourage prowlers and makes your property more secure. It also can expand the amount of time you are able to spend on recreational or maintenance activities after dark.

If you have an outdoor area that needs more lighting, you may wish to consider the OPPD Security Lighting Program.

• It's simple - you don't have to buy light fixtures, and you only pay for the electric service.
• OPPD furnishes, installs, owns and maintains the security light, which is mounted on a utility pole near your home.
• The lights will operate automatically each night from dusk to dawn.

Two types of lights are available:

• 100-watt, 7,200-lumen high pressure sodium
• 200-watt, 22,000-lumen high pressure sodium

OPPD will install a security light, for as low as $9.77 per month, plus tax and fuel and transportation cost adjustment for the energy use of a 100-watt high-pressure sodium lamp, or $13.16 per month, plus tax and fuel and transportation cost adjustment for the energy use of a 200-watt high-pressure sodium lamp. 

Additional fees may apply if additional poles, wires, or transformers are needed to provide service to the dusk to dawn lighting. An OPPD representative will review each request for feasibility and provide cost and scheduling information.
