PARKING LOTLIGHTING

HID and older fluorescent pole fixtures fail gradually — a lamp burns out here, a ballast goes there — until sections of the lot are dark and the problem is noticeable enough to draw tenant or customer complaints. By the time there are visible dark spots, there are usually multiple fixtures in various stages of failure throughout the lot. We assess the full condition of your parking lot lighting, not just the fixtures that have already gone out. Failed lamps, deteriorating ballasts, and corroded connections at the base of poles are all addressed in the same visit — and if the system is old enough to warrant it, we can upgrade the entire lot to LED at the same time.

Parking lot lighting for new construction involves more than mounting fixtures on poles. Underground conduit and feeder runs need to be installed before paving, fixture spacing needs to be calculated against the lot layout to deliver even coverage, and the installation needs to be coordinated with your GC's schedule and pass inspection before the site can open. We work directly from your site plan, handle the underground work and pole installation, and coordinate inspections so the lighting side of your project does not become a scheduling problem for the rest of the build.

A photocell that has failed in the closed position keeps your parking lot lights running continuously — through daylight hours, through the middle of the night — adding unnecessary load to every utility bill until it is replaced. A failed timer creates the same problem and can go unnoticed for months on a property that is not checked regularly. We replace failed photocells and timers and can add dusk-to-dawn automation to systems that were never properly controlled to begin with. Lights that run only when they are needed cost significantly less to operate than lights that run all the time.
