ALSTE ELECTRIC URGES THE PUBLIC TO THINK ABOUT LIGHT SAFETY AROUND THEIR HOME AS DAYLIGHT GROWS SHORTER

GLENVIEW, IL (OCTOBER
2013) –
ALSTE Electric, servicing
Chicago’s northern suburbs for 37 years, urges the public to think about light
safety around their homes as daylight grows shorter.  A variety of security lighting is available
that may deter would-be burglars and predators as night falls earlier.   ALSTE Electric is offering free lighting
safety assessments the entire month of November.



 



Statistics show peaks in crime rates at the end of October
and early November, which may be associated to Daylight Saving Time,
which is Sunday, November 3, 2013.  ALSTE
Electric recommends evaluating internal and external lighting around the house
such as security and safety motion lights, electronic timing controlled lights,
and landscape, yard and driveway lighting.

“You want to make sure there is sufficient lighting around
your property to feel safe and secure when you are home at night or when family
and friends arrive,” says Maureen Edelman, president of Glenview-based ALSTE
Electric.  “Most people think about
exterior lighting for aesthetic effect, but it offers so much more.”

From deterring wildlife to illuminating the walk or
driveway, and even providing safety when away from the home, lighting offers of
security.  “We are urging residents to
call us for a free assessment before it’s too dark too late,” states
Edelman.  “We want to make sure our
clients feel their homes are safe and secure all year long, when at home or
away on vacation.”
