Upgrade Your Outbuilding Lights
Are you tired of wandering around in a dark garage or carport? Maybe you’re worried about walking from your house to your shed at night. With winter on the way, now is the perfect time to give your outdoor buildings a lighting facelift. And with SESCOS experts standing by, your new lighting is just a phone call away.
Reasons to Upgrade Now
Here are five great reasons to consider upgrading the lighting for your garage.
1. Safety
Get your lights professionally installed to avoid any unwelcome shocks. Remember that thawing ice can create wet areas that make it dangerous to handle electricity yourself.
- Better lighting means you don’t have to end your drive home in a dark garage.
- Low-voltage LED lights will illuminate your space without a glaring floodlight effect that will bother your neighbors.
- Motion-sensor lights will alert you to an intruder.
- Upgrading your lighting system means you’ll get rid of any worn, outdated, potentially dangerous fixtures or wiring.
2. Work and Hobbies
There’s no need to give up your favorite hobbies just because it gets dark early. With new lights, your shed or garage can be safe no matter what time of day or night it is.
- Tinker away at will in a brightly-lit garage that lets you turn your outbuilding into a workshop.
- Along with the upgraded lights, add heat to keep cozy all winter.
- Turn that unused shed or garage into a study, workroom, artist’s studio, garden center or man cave.
3. Entertaining
Outdoor entertaining isn’t just for the summer. With the right lights and a fire pit, you can keep the party going through the fall and winter.
- Make it easy for guests and delivery drivers to find your home.
- Lighting around a sauna, pool house or hot tub will keep you and your guests safe.
- Your professional SESCOS electrician can install outlets for all your outdoor activities, including heating, hot tubs, and car-charging units.
4. Aesthetic Appeal
- Give your curb appeal a boost with bright new lights.
- Create decorative lighting accents around your shed, garage or carport.
- Make your outbuilding lights part of your nightscaping.
- Have your holiday lights professionally installed and avoid the time, aggravation and possible injury of doing it yourself.
5. Winter Warning
If you want your lights to work well through every season, consider the following cold-weather lighting tips.
- Some fluorescent lights won’t turn on in sub-zero weather.
- Use fixtures with electronic ballasts, which are more reliable than electromagnetic ballasts in cold weather.
- Consider LED lights, which are unaffected by weather conditions.
- If you get enough sunlight in the winter, a solar panel to power your LED lights is a good energy-saving option.
- Your SESCOS electrician can advise you on the best cold-weather lighting options.
