ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a flood light lamp removal alarm for security lights mounted on or near a home, wherein the lights are designed to turn on automatically if a motion detector is triggered and the ambient light level is low. The alarm detects if the lamps are unscrewed or loosened either prior to a burglary or during the attempt. In addition, the alarm also detects if the lights are loosened by natural forces, such as vibrations from passing heavy trucks, etc., abrupt jarring motions, such as foundation loosening, machinary movement, sound, repetitive motions etc. If one or more lamps are loosened, the alarm of the present invention causes the discernable alarm to go on, thereby startling a burglar and alerting the neighbors if a flood light lamp is unscrewed from a security light socket while the switch inside the house is turned on, regardless of whether the lamp is on or off.
