We’re finally more than halfway through the winter (but more importantly, we’re halfway to summer). The days are officially getting longer and some lucky workers may be able to see the sun while walking to their car after work. (See exhibit A)

For those late grinders, graveyard shift employees, or post-work shoppers; nighttime is all they get. Having a well-lit facility and parking lot (or deck) is an important factor in providing a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all.
The yellow/orange tint of High-Pressure Sodium or Metal Halide Lighting, along with their lapses of lighting coverage, can make an uncomfortable impression.
No one should feel unsafe when walking to/from their vehicle.
The best solution? LED lighting.
The benefits of upgrading to outdoor LED lighting include;
- Optimized lighting direction that can focus on areas that need illumination. (LEDs also reduce light pollution AKA the brightening of the night sky due to artificial lighting.)
- They have a longer lifespan, providing up to 100,000 hours in commercial applications. (Worth the investment when you think about time and money spent replacing other forms of lighting.)
- They are the most energy efficient lighting option, which means lowered energy usage and higher savings.
- With their enhanced aesthetics, LEDs have a high light/brightness output that lasts up to 90% of its lifespan.
- LEDs directional capabilities can help prevent slips/trips/falls thanks to properly lighting the grounds and pathways of your facility
- LEDS are also environmentally-friendly, free of mercury and carbon dioxide, and produce almost no UV emissions.
Outdoor lighting sets the tone of your building or property – it’s the first thing everyone sees. If people are rushing to get in and out of your building from their car, you have a safety (and comfort) problem.
