Many people rarely think about the lights installed in the area where they park their car. They do not think about them, that is, until it is dark and they are searching for their car. This is when they notice there is an important light missing, or there is insufficient illumination in the parking lot. There are many reasons why you need to put a great deal of thought into commercial parking lot lights if you are responsible for maintaining the parking lot.
One of the first things that comes to mind when you discuss lighting, particularly in an outdoor setting, is safety. Businesses want their customers to feel safe and welcome when they come to shop at their store. In order for customers to feel that way, it is necessary for a number of lights to be installed in strategic locations throughout the parking lot. In the ideal situation, there should be enough light to ensure the entire parking lot, as well as a significant area of overlap, is well illuminated. This enables shoppers to feel safe when they are walking from their cars into the store and vice versa.
Another aspect of choosing commercial parking lot lights you want to consider is the longevity of the lights. When you choose lights outfitted with LED bulbs, you will need to be less concerned with changing them out. Of course, you will still need to contact your crew to change the bulbs out when one blows, but you will find the frequency of this occurrence will be decreased significantly.
A final consideration is the cost of the parking lot lights. Of course, the more you have, the higher the costs will be. However, when that cost is weighed against the costs of diminished business because people do not feel safe or the liability if someone should get hurt due to the lack of lights, more lights will almost always be more cost effective in the long run, as well as in the here and now.
LED bulbs are brighter and longer lasting than other options. Your patrons and employees will feel much more secure with a parking lot offering better illumination while making their way to and from their vehicles. Criminals will be discouraged as well.
