The primary benefits of replacing existing lighting with Outdoor LED lighting are reduced maintenance and energy costs. Post lights are used on the posts surrounding the deck to accent where the railing is located, and to cast a soft glow down onto the top of the deck. While the initial expense of an LED retrofit is higher than traditional lighting, this investment often pays for itself within 3-5 year, and in many cases sooner. Moving past post and step lighting approaches, there are plenty of other ways to illuminate your deck and create safety without sacrificing the wonders of a beautiful atmosphere.
When a deck has built-in benches, it provides a wonderful opportunity to do some undercap lighting. LED Lighting provides a drastic reduction in energy costs and maintenance costs due to the significant difference in the way they generate light, compared to conventional lighting. A light fixture is placed high up in a tree near your deck and angled downwards. In facility management time is money, and because LED lighting fixtures and lamps have significantly longer lifetimes than traditional lighting.
We only install LED Pixel light in mature trees we know can support the weight of the lights. In a recent LED retrofit project, a commercial properties company was looking to upgrade existing parking lot lighting and reduce the energy consumption of the exterior of the building. We can mount lights high in the eaves of your house to create the same effect. In addition to the savings, the new LED fixtures improved lighting quality across multiple parking lots in various locations.
Ultimately, the investment in LED lighting increased visibility and safety while lowering energy costs. This is just one of many examples of how LED lighting is changing the way people think about building and facility management. Lighting is no longer a commodity and managers can now make lighting work for them by reducing operating costs and drastically cutting down on the man hours needed to maintain their old system, ultimately adding money to your bottom line. The question isn’t if your business can afford to switch to LED lighting, it’s if you can afford not to.
