Installing exterior lighting for your commercial property comes with several advantages. These benefits include enhancing the security of your property, ensuring the safety of your workers, increasing curb appeal, improving insurance rates, and providing better customer service and accessibility.
At Fusion Electric, we service many commercial properties throughout the Kansas City area, and can expertly install exterior lighting for your property. In this guide, we’ll discuss the many advantages of exterior light installation for commercial properties.
Enhance the Security of Your Property
By adding lighting to the exterior of your commercial property, you’ll be able to better ensure its security. Exterior security lighting helps to deter possible late-night trespassing or break-ins as the area will be lit up, and would-be intruder risks being seen. This can be especially useful if you have products for sale that are housed outside, such as trailers or other equipment.
Exterior lighting in your parking lot and affixed to your building can greatly increase the protection of your building and outdoor equipment.
Ensure the Safety of Your Workers
Ensuring worker safety should be a top priority for any company, and adding exterior lighting to your commercial property will help achieve this. By lighting up the property’s exterior, workers will be able to navigate the outside of the property much better at night, reducing the risk of injury. It also reduces the risk of employees being assaulted at night in unlit or dimly lit parking lots or other outdoor areas of the commercial property.
Well-lit outdoor areas are crucial whenever employees are expected to perform tasks outside at night from transporting products or goods, to escorting guests indoors or helping customers park.
Increase Curb Appeal by Installing Exterior Lighting for Your Commercial Property
Exterior light installation can greatly increase the curb appeal of your commercial property. This is especially important for commercial properties that are open to customers at night. By lighting up your property and parking lot at night, customers may feel more welcome and confident in approaching your building.
If your exterior is dark at night, customers may not even know that the building is open for business, and your sales could be suffering as a result. If a customer has to strain to read the open hours sign on your door, they may feel deterred from stepping inside.
Lighting up your commercial property’s exterior is a great way to welcome customers and ultimately increase your revenue. For businesses that are only open during the day, a well-lit property at night can still increase the welcoming feel of a business and may encourage customers who drive by at night to return to shop during the day.
Better Customer Service and Accessibility
Commercial properties that are open to onsite customers should always be open to improving customer service and accessibility. With exterior light installation, customers will be able to see much better for parking and walking into your building.
Many customers do not feel safe navigating dimly or unlit parking lots at night, and your business may be suffering from the lack of nighttime safety features. Customers may also feel wary of leaving their vehicles unattended in an unlit parking lot as this increases the risk of a car break-in or theft. Installing exterior lighting can help boost your customers’ confidence in navigating the exterior of your property at night.
Better Insurance Rates
Dimly or unlit exterior areas of commercial properties can present a high risk for insurance companies, especially for properties open to customers at night. Unlit areas increase the risk of theft, vandalism, assault, accidents, and more.
These high risks can raise the insurance rates for commercial properties. By hiring an electrician to install well-designed, effective lighting to the exterior of your commercial property, you may be able to secure reduced insurance rates for your property.
