The Lee County division of AA Action Electric specializes more in commercial new construction and build out. We also do residential remodel and custom home new construction and both residential and commercial service and underground. The Charlotte County Division is geared more to residential new construction and pool wiring.
"This is the second time I have hired AA Action Electric and they did a terrific job. This time around they installed an interlock kit, generator breaker and power inlet, and also upgraded my NEMA 14-50 EV outlet with an industrial grade receptacle. At my request, the power inlet was installed in the laundry room to power up my battery inverter generator. Kenny and Andrew were on time, professional, fast and efficient, and friendly. The price quoted for the job was reasonable, and Chris, the service manager, was easy to work with, and the job was scheduled and carried out out within a week of my approval of the estimate. ."

Solar-powered motion sensor fixtures operate independently from your home's electrical system, eliminating the need for complex wiring. Each unit contains its own integrated solar collector and battery storage system. Installation involves simple mounting procedures rather than electrical connections.
Be aware that heavily shaded locations may compromise performance, and seasonal sunlight variations can affect reliability in some geographic regions.
Most motion detection systems include adjustment controls—small dials or switches—located on the sensor housing. These allow customization of detection distance, sensitivity to movement size, and duration settings for illumination after triggering. For fixtures without built-in adjustment capabilities, aftermarket controllers can sometimes be added.
Regular testing after adjustments helps optimize performance and minimize unwanted activations from small animals or vegetation movement.
Converting to motion-activated lighting reduces electricity consumption substantially compared to fixtures left continuously illuminated. Traditional outdoor lighting operating throughout nighttime hours (10 to 14 hours) consumes significantly more power than motion-activated alternatives that illuminate only when needed. The actual savings depend on your previous lighting configuration, the efficiency of your new fixtures, and local electricity rates.
The ideal number of security lights depends on your property's specific layout and vulnerability points. Strategic placement matters more than quantity—focus on key areas like entry points, blind corners, and pathways. Analyze your property for potential coverage gaps, considering detection angles and ranges of each fixture. Balancing comprehensive coverage with avoiding unnecessary redundancy helps optimize both security effectiveness and installation budget.
