Why would you need to upgrade your exterior
lighting? |
| |
|
|
There are many reasons for upgrading the exterior
lighting. |
| |
|
|
|
Improve General Exterior
Light Levels - The most common reason for upgrade is to improve light levels
to improve the safety of the area. This can reduce the risks of injury or
theft to clients and employees and also provide an added benefit of increasing
the visibility of the site. Often improving light levels for retailers is
necessary simply to "keep up with the Jone's". |
| |
|
|
|
Save Energy - Many facilities
have older less efficient light sources which can be retrofitted or replaced
with newer more reliable and efficient fixtures. |

it is to eliminate the merchandise on the lot. Often improving light levels

How do you go about
determining what you need? The first step is to walk the facility at night
and take photos if possible of the facility and share these with the decision
makers in you company. Begin to develop a consensus on what issues need
to be addressed and what are your priorities. If possible, gather data on
what the existing systems are and then engage a lighting professional to
review your findings. The lighting professional can help you refine your
requirements, develop a set of expectation for what should be done and some
budgetary data on costs. This can then be discussed with your company team
to determine how to proceed. |

The longest part
of the process is usually figuring out what you want. Once you have decided
what you want done, if new pole fixtures are involved in can take 6-8 weeks
for the manufacturer to provide materials. The actual installation of a
2-3 pole installation would then only take about one week. |
