Once the sun goes down, lighting becomes a crucial factor in a customer’s initial impression of your business. Bright and properly placed parking lot lights invite customers to your front door while improving the safety and security of the area. Brightly illuminated parking areas dissuade criminal activity; in fact, studies show that outdoor lighting cuts crime by 39%. The ultimate goal for any parking lot light repair project is to enhance visibility for customers and employees.

For a breakdown on cost, voltage, and the different types of parking lot lights, see our FAQ below.

How do you upgrade your outdoor parking lot lights?

Upgrading and/or maintaining parking lot lighting is best achieved by consulting reputable commercial parking lot lighting contractors in your area. Lightning Mobile Electric is that trusted partner as we are equipped to handle any parking lot lights service you are in need of. From a simple parking lot light bulb replacement to a full layout and redesign, Lightning Mobile Electric provides expert advice and skill to complete the project and exceed your expectations.

What kind of lights do parking lots use?

In the past, parking lots were commonly illuminated by High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting technologies such as mercury vapor bulbs, high-pressure sodium bulbs, or metal halide bulbs. These technologies can get expensive to operate and maintain and many business owners found themselves calling their parking lot repair company more frequently. Now, business owners can consider upgrading to the recommended LED parking lot lights. Using LED lights for parking lot lighting has quickly become the preferred choice. The single most important factor affecting the cost and performance of lighting systems is proper maintenance. Upgrading to commercial LED parking lot lights will significantly reduce operating and maintenance costs and you’ll have better customization in your lighting design.

Every parking lot project is different and throughout the design process, it’s important to remember that more light doesn’t always mean better light. Lightning Mobile Electric takes care to consider things like the light color temperature (using the Kelvin Scale), fixture location, and the lighting distribution pattern. We can also implement control systems to maximize energy efficiency. Control systems function as timers so you can customize when the parking lot lights need to be on and when they can be turned off - such as during non-business hours or during the daylight hours. Again, our goal is to help reduce your energy consumption and improve your lighting. Upgrading lighting systems, lamps and adding controls might make you eligible for rebates.
