Lighting your business’s parking lot is critical in providing your employees, clients, and customers with safety. If you have a dark parking lot, you could put everyone at risk for car accidents and theft. If your business has been opened for many years, there is a good chance your business still has the same lighting in place from the first day it opened.
Over the years, it is likely your lighting is not as good as it used to be. If your lighting is not efficient, it could result in major consequences for your business. If you are unsure if your business needs to replace its parking lot lighting, we want to make you aware of some signs.
Your Lights Have To Be Changed Often
If you have to constantly change the light bulbs in your parking lot, you are likely spending an excessive amount of money that can be used elsewhere. The good thing about LED lights is that they can last for a significant amount of time. If you are tired of replacing your parking lot lights, this could be a sign that you need to choose another option for parking lot lighting.
Complaints From Customers/Employees
Do you hear from your employees and/or customers about how unsafe they feel when they are in the parking lot? Crimes do take place in parking lots, especially when there is not enough lighting. When there is not enough lighting in an area, some people usually take that opportunity to commit crimes against an unsuspecting person.
Dark Areas
When you drive around your parking lot, do you notice that some areas are brighter than others? If there are some places that are not fully lit, your business parking lot has bad lighting. When you use better lighting fixtures, especially LED lighting, you will have better lighting placement.
