Retrofitting with LED Lighting
Parking lots serve obvious purposes but when it comes to making first impressions the parking area can set the stage for customer satisfaction. In this post we will review one particular element of parking lots – lighting, specifically lighting retrofitting with LED (Light Emitting Diodes).
When it comes to lighting your parking lot, you probably have four key concerns in mind:
- Safety
- Reliability
- Ease of Use
- Cost
Fortunately, there’s a solution that addresses all of these concerns. By switching to LED lighting, you’ll transform that dim, shadowy parking lot into a bright oasis and save money in the process.
Businesses across the country and the world are discovering that green LED solutions won’t just help save the planet—they’ll also help businesses save money. LED retrofitting is a cost-saving upgrade that will pay for itself quickly and many times over.
Safety

- Customers and workers will feel safer in a brightly-lit lot.
- Light output never dims, even after years of use.
- Unlike mercury or fluorescent bulbs, LED lights contain no toxic chemicals.
- Better lighting can reduce your liability.
Reliability
- Many LED lights last 10 years or longer, even with continuous daily use.
- Energy Star-certified LED lights can last even longer.
