Lighting to Improve
Commercial Property Value

Finding ways to increase the value of your commercial property without breaking the bank may seem like an impossible task. Outdoor lighting is one of the best ways to upgrade your real estate by adding safety and security, improved ambiance, and increased foot traffic.

There are several different outdoor lighting types and styles, each with specific applications. Consider these possibilities offered by Houston Landscaping:

• Parking lot lights to illuminate large areas, improving visibility and safety.

• Placing floodlights on the side of your building can increase your building’s security.

• Downlights are useful for highlighting architectural features, landscaping elements, signage, and pathways. Adjustable ones allow you to direct the light beam on a specific area.

• Canopy lights placed under overhangs or entryways provide a welcoming environment.

• Uplights have the same application as downlights regarding highlighting specific features. However, they are placed at ground level with their beam pointing upwards.

• Post lights are versatile in their placement and utility. They provide safety, security, and aesthetic appeal.

You can save a significant amount of money by using LED outdoor lighting. They are more energy-efficient than halogen and incandescent bulbs, lowering utility bills. Furthermore, they last longer, reducing the need for replacement.

Combining LED lights with smart technology increases those savings. You can automate your system to ensure your lights are only on when needed, or change the brightness and direction of individual lights. In addition to lowering utility bills, they also provide a way to be more eco-friendly and reduce light pollution.

Increasing your business’s property value through outdoor lighting takes more than just flicking a switch. You want to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages people to return more and stay longer. Full story »
