Your exterior lighting system does much more than provide illumination. It enhances security, improves curb appeal, and ensures safe navigation for staff and visitors. But while you’re focused on maintaining brightness and performance, another threat might be quietly undermining your efforts: wildlife. Birds, squirrels, mice, and other small animals are often drawn to outdoor lighting structures. Whether they’re seeking warmth, building nests, or simply curious, their presence can lead to serious problems—causing costly repairs and even compromising safety. Here’s how these tiny invaders can disrupt your lighting system—and how you can protect it.
In the fast-paced world of commercial property management, cost-cutting measures can sometimes feel like smart business decisions. However, when it comes to your facility's lighting system, hiring untrained technicians and using low-quality fixtures can end up costing you far more in the long run.

We create safe, well-lit environments where people can thrive—whether they’re working, shopping, walking through a parking lot, or arriving at a building for the first time.

Let’s take you behind the scenes.
Spring is here which means days are getting longer and business is getting busier. In the spirit of springtime, it is time for refreshment and renewal. That said, we want to give you some energy savings tips you can implement in your building. Whether you have an office space, commercial building, or retail shop we want to save you energy and money starting in spring and continuing through the summer. Here is how! Switch to LED Lights Having to constantly change lightbulbs as seasons change can not only get expensive but it can be a real hassle. However, LED lighting lasts longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs. They are also designed to use less electricity in comparison to incandescent light bulbs. Also, LED bulbs are not just for the interior of your building, these energy saving bulbs can be used on the exterior of your building too. Take Advantage of Natural Lighting As seasons change, we are fortunate to see more sun! This means you can take advantage of the natural lighting. Move and shift your workspace around to utilize the sunshine during the day. In addition to the gift of beauty, there are a lot of other health benefits to increasing the natural light in your building. Being exposed to natural lighting throughout the workday often leads to better sleep night for your building’s inhabitants. Natural light also boosts the vitamin D in your body which can increase productivity. Get Rid of Incandescent Bulbs to Save Your HVAC Incandescent light bulbs are inefficient because most of their energy output is converted directly into heat, not valuable light. Where does all this extra heat go? And it usually flows through your commercial HVAC system causing the system to work much harder to expel extra heat, causing it to draw more energy and thus reduce the lifespan of the system itself. Call us Your Commercial Lighting Experts We hope you find these energy saving tips for spring helpful! The best advice you can take from this blog is making the switch to LED lighting. Our process is simple; just 4 easy steps, and you will rest easy knowing your commercial lighting project is handled.

Commercial outdoor lighting is more important than you may realize and can often be overlooked. It enhances how a company looks and functions creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere to employees, existing employees, and potential customers or clients. Exterior lighting can help market your business better and can play a large role in a company’s growth and success. Here are a few reasons why as a business owner you should make exterior lighting a priority and how we can make it easy. First Impressions First impressions are imperative for successful businesses, when a customer or potential client approaches your business, the exterior is the first thing they see. Professionally installed and well-placed lighting is not only appealing to the eye but can even become the most recognizable feature about your building. Lighting done right will draw attention to your signage and help make a lasting impression on your visitors. Increased visibility at night is also an important aspect of attracting new customers and ensuring existing customers can always find you without issue. People are more likely to approach an inviting and accessible business that has well-lit entryways, especially after dark. Security and Safety Exterior lighting has also proven to be effective in providing safety and security for employees, clients, customers, and the building itself. Having a well-lit exterior significantly reduces the possibility for slip-and-fall incidents as well as giving patrons a sense of security against other possible dangers. Most people avoid businesses with darkened windows and poor exterior lighting. Having adequate lighting in your entrances, doorways, stairs, and parking lots can also serve as a deterrent for potential threats like break-ins or intruders. Installing and maintaining exterior lighting for your commercial space and keeping outdoor areas well-lit can help keep your business protected from potential criminal activity. Lighting Options There are several factors to consider when selecting the best exterior lighting options for your business. Some things to consider include illumination on: landscape features and statues, outdoor architecture, the business address, vital signage (which can also be serviced with our signage maintenance), parking lots and any other dark areas surrounding your business.
