Homeowners demand security, energy savings, and convenience. Motion-activated lighting delivers all three—when it is designed and installed correctly. CountBricks combines AI-driven estimating, real-time material pricing, and on-site voice capture to make motion lights installation fast, transparent, and cost-efficient for residential projects of any size.
• Deterrent security: Sudden illumination discourages trespassers and alerts residents.
• Lower energy bills: LEDs only switch on when movement is detected, cutting wasted runtime.
• Safer pathways: Driveways, stairs, and entryways light up automatically to reduce trip hazards.
• Curb appeal: Accent lighting highlights architectural features without constant illumination.
• Home automation synergy: Units integrate seamlessly with smart hubs planned by CountBricks.
Unlike traditional contractors, CountBricks starts the project before we even arrive on-site. Our AI estimate generator creates a line-item proposal as you speak through scope on your phone. Labor hours, fixture counts, cabling, trenching, permit fees, and disposal are updated in seconds with live market pricing.
Once approved, our field team accesses the same digital workflow, eliminating surprises and paperwork lag. Every fixture location, lumen output, and sensor field is mapped right into the homeowner’s digital blueprint. Visit CountBricks.com/services to see the full automation pipeline.
1. Initial voice consultation: Discuss goals, fixture styles, and budget—estimate auto-generates in real time.
2. Site walk-through: A CountBricks specialist validates wire runs, power sources, and beam angles using digital takeoffs.
3. Permit & utility check: We file electrical permits and schedule utility marking to prevent underground strikes.
4. Material procurement: Fixtures, junction boxes, and weather-proof conduits are ordered through our synced supplier network to lock in current pricing.
5. Rough-in: Low-voltage cable or 120V conduit is routed through soffits, walls, or trenches as specified.
6. Fixture mounting: Sensors are aimed to cover 180°–270° arcs while avoiding false triggers from streets or foliage.
7. System testing: Our technicians trigger each light, calibrate sensitivity, and connect smart units to the homeowner’s hub.
8. Final handover: A digital completion report is uploaded to the client portal along with warranty documents.
CountBricks keeps thousands of SKUs at our fingertips. During design we weigh:
• LED wattage vs. lumen target: A 15-watt LED can replace a 90-watt halogen for pathways.
• Beam spread: Narrow beams for spotlighting, wide floods for driveways.
• Sensor technology: Infrared for basic coverage, microwave or dual-tech for high-wind zones.
• Construction grade: Powder-coated aluminum resists coastal salt spray better than plastic housings.
• Integration level: Fixtures that talk to smart speakers, alarm panels, or CountBricks maintenance dashboards.
• Fixtures and sensors: 35–45 % of total spend depending on brand and finish.
• Wiring and conduit: 15–20 %—kept low by optimized cable runs identified in blueprint takeoffs.
• Labor: 30–40 %—our precise task timing prevents bloated crew hours.
• Permits and incidentals: 5–10 %.
Because CountBricks updates material costs daily, your quote reflects actual market rates, not a padded contingency number.
Challenge 1: False Triggers from Street Traffic
We angle sensors downward and shield them with louvered covers, ensuring activation only when someone enters the property line.
Challenge 2: Limited Existing Electrical Capacity
Our electricians calculate load balance and, when needed, add a dedicated low-voltage transformer or new circuit with minimal drywall disruption.
Challenge 3: Aesthetic Concerns
CountBricks offers color-matched fixtures and discrete recessed options that blend with soffits or stone facades.
LED motion lights require little upkeep, but CountBricks offers annual checkups through our HomeCare plan. We inspect sensor lenses, firmware, and wiring integrity, updating your digital record at CountBricks.com/portfolio so resale inspectors see documented maintenance.
• Use metal, not plastic, junction boxes to handle outdoor temperature swings.
• Seal all exterior penetrations with UV-resistant silicone to prevent moisture ingress.
• Mount sensors 6–10 ft high; lower heights invite vandalism, higher reduces detection accuracy.
• Label breaker panels clearly—future you (or the next owner) will thank you.
• Keep spare LED drivers on hand; swapping a driver restores brightness without replacing the fixture.
From instant AI estimates to meticulous installation, CountBricks turns motion lights into a fast value-add for any home.

The Smith family wanted a safer, more welcoming driveway that wouldn’t spike their energy bill. Using CountBricks.com/consultation, they outlined their goals in a five-minute call. Our AI instantly produced a line-item estimate for six LED flood fixtures, 120 ft of conduit, and a smart hub integration package.
• Timeline: Two on-site days from trenching to final test
• Budget accuracy: Final invoice ±1.5 % of the initial AI estimate
• Energy savings: 78 % reduction versus the previous halogen setup
• Security boost: 40 % drop in false alarms after replacing dusk-to-dawn floods with motion sensors
1. Predictive Takeoffs: Our blueprint engine identified the optimal conduit path beneath an existing flowerbed, cutting trench footage by 22 %.
2. Real-Time Pricing Lock: Fixtures were ordered within minutes of approval, avoiding a supplier price hike that hit the market two days later.
3. Digital Commissioning: Sensor sensitivity settings were saved to the cloud, enabling remote tweaks without rolling a truck.
“CountBricks transformed a nagging safety concern into a polished upgrade—and the numbers they quoted actually held up.” — J. Smith, homeowner
