Parking Lot lighting and correct sign lighting is important because it illuminates your business and makes it stand out, especially at night. Having strong lighting also makes your consumers feel safe to visit your business at all hours. Finally, good lighting is helpful even when your business is not open – often criminals go unnoticed in areas with a lack of illuminationlighting. So, are you ready to upgrade your parking lot lighting to improve energy efficiency, and reduce your overall maintenance cost and capture all activity surrounding your business?

For many years people have installed High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting technologies in parking lots. Why change now if they have been used for so many years?

Top 3 reasons LED is a better solution than HID

Energy Costs – Compared to LED lighting, HID lighting is very expensive and it will continue to be as electricity prices rise. HID parking log and area lighting uses around 400 – 1000 watts, while LED lights only use 40-400 watts. The wattage used increases as light output increases.

Maintenance Costs – LED does not have to be replaced as often as HID lighting does. It does not require as many repairs or maintenance either.

Lighting Performance – While HID solutions start off strong, it quickly reduces the quality of lighting output. These solutions also put out a faint orange and yellow light.

On the other hand, LED lights have little to no drop in light output over time, and have better color rendering. LED lights are also better at distributing light evenly across a given area. This means you may need less and less power to light up your parking lot.
