Top 5 Onforu Lights Series Recommended to Enhance Backyard Safety

It's not that most families don't pay attention to backyard safety, but they overlook one of the most basic, yet effective ways to do so - lighting.
Many people install lights, but the light is not enough, the angle is not right, the light does not last, and as a result, they spend money for nothing and do not solve the problem. Onforu - a brand that is bright enough to be tough, stable enough to hold the field, and will not give you a headache of installation and maintenance.
How Onforu's lights really work to improve backyard security. We've tested every scenario and summarized the most recommended ways to use them, so you can get it right the first time and stop worrying about a dark backyard.
Improve backyard lighting by installing LED floodlights
Scenarios: Backyard entrances, gardens, parking areas
Backyard entrances and parking areas are often potential safety hazards. Installing a high intensity Onforu LED Floodlight can dramatically brighten these areas. The powerful lighting coverage and high brightness design allows you to easily monitor your entire backyard, especially at night, so that anyone approaching becomes instantly recognizable.
- High Brightness: LED flood light can illuminate over 50 meters, perfect for wide backyard.
- Wide Angle Illumination: Wide angle design allows for even light distribution, reducing shadow areas and enhancing visibility.
- Energy Efficient: Onforu LED lights are more energy efficient than traditional fixtures, saving money on your electricity bill.

Installing smart sensor lights for automatic security
Scenarios: Backyard paths, fence surroundings
Onforu's Infrared sensor lights are an ideal choice if you want an “automatic” way to increase your security. These sensor lights automatically illuminate when someone is there, eliminating the need to manually turn them on every time you come home.
- Auto Sensing: Infrared sensors accurately detect the movement of people or objects and illuminate the lights instantly.
- Save Energy: Only turns on when it senses activity, reducing unnecessary power consumption.
- Enhanced Security: If your backyard has more aisles or walkways, the automatic light can make you safer when walking around at night.

Setting up dusk to dawn lights to enhance essential illumination
Scenario: Backyard doors, windows, storage sheds
Backyard doors, windows or storage sheds are often where families store tools and valuables, making them a key area for burglary protection. With Onforu's dusk to dawn outdoor lights, you can automatically turn on the lights as the sky darkens, ensuring that these critical locations remain illuminated at night and improving overall security.
- Automatic Light On: Light sensing feature automatically turns lights on and off in response to changes in natural light, eliminating the need for manual operation and allowing you to have lights on whenever you come home.
- Continuous Lighting: Automatic light on at night can keep your backyard illuminated, effectively reducing shadow areas and lowering the risk of intrusion.
- Adaptable to Multiple Weather: Whether it's cloudy, rainy or cloudy, the light sensor light intelligently determines if it needs to be lit, ensuring that it provides illumination when there is little light.
It is recommended that dusk till dawn lights be installed near backyard entrances and exits, especially near areas such as windows and storage sheds, to ensure that critical areas are automatically lit at night. Installation should be located as far away as possible from direct sunlight obstructions to ensure that the sensors can accurately recognize changes in light.

Install outdoor lights with camera for wide area intelligent surveillance
Scenario: Large backyard area, such as lawn, swimming pool, recreational area
For large backyard area, ordinary lighting may not be able to cover the whole area, let alone realize the surveillance function. For larger backyard areas, ordinary lighting may not be able to provide full coverage, let alone surveillance. In this case, choosing Onforu camera outdoor lights is a more efficient and safer solution. These fixtures not only have adjustable bright LED lighting, but also built-in high-definition camera, realizing “lighting + surveillance” double protection.
- Lighting and Surveillance in One: The integrated bright LED light and HD camera provide powerful lighting and 24-hour video surveillance of backyard movements.
- Adjustable Lighting Angle: The light head supports multi-angle adjustment, which can cover the entire lawn, pool or recreational area to avoid security dead ends.
- Intelligent Detection and Alarm: Some models have AI human detection function, recognizing people approaching can automatically light up and push mobile alerts to deter potential intruders.
- Clear Night Vision Function: even in a lightless environment, the infrared night vision mode can record the picture clearly, so that you do not miss any abnormal details.
- All-weather Use: with IP65 waterproof rating, it resists harsh weather such as heavy rain, snow and sand, all year round.
Recommended to be installed on the backyard wall, under the eaves or above the garage for a wider perspective overlooking the entire area. If the backyard is particularly wide, it can be arranged in multiple locations for seamless monitoring. Used with the Onforu App (or a compatible smart home system), it supports remote viewing of the screen, voice intercom, and real-time alarm push.
