Many companies fear the costs associated with outdoor commercial lighting
Commercial outdoor lighting systems are far more complex than they appear at face value. A multitude of factors influences the choice of equipment, placement of fixtures, and degrees of illumination appropriate to structures, terrain, and after-hours activity. Many companies fear the costs associated with outdoor commercial lighting and seek to reduce overhead with generic equipment. This creates more problems than it solves. Cheap fixtures and poor design creates blinding spots of glare that cast shadows, creating both an eyesore and a number of safety and security hazards. It is better to make a one-time investment in a system that comprehensively addresses the five key elements required for effective commercial outdoor lighting. As a single-source, multi-specialty vendor of the world's best equipment and design strategies, Illuminations Lighting develops outdoor commercial lighting designs that address these five major arenas and customizes each particular element to the specific size and style of the individual facility.
Security
Security ranks as top concern for building owners investing in outdoor commercial lights. Both vandalism and theft constitute a major risk of loss that proper lighting can do a great deal to help prevent. Particularly for organizations with night crews working on loading docks, or maintenance and cleaning crews entering and exiting the building in the dark, outdoor commercial lighting creates a safe work environment and provides visibility crucial to safety and awareness. Illuminations Lighting consults with building management to determine the extent of nighttime activity on property, and then combines perimeter flood lights and exterior lighting to ensure that all personnel on premises can clearly see their surroundings without being blinded by glare and without any shadows that could hide an intruder or lead to an injury in the dark.
Parking Lot Lighting
Appropriate visibility in the parking lot constitutes a major factor in commercial outdoor lighting. Parking lot lights are actually regulated by the government and by law must produce a minimum of four foot candles of light. Neglecting this element in a commercial outdoor lighting system not only places drivers and pedestrians at risk in the parking lot, it creates even further liability in the form of possible government fines. Illuminations Lighting and Design both tests lighting levels in parking lots and offers a wide variety of poles, lights, and fixtures to create bright, glare free outdoor lighting for commercial parking lots of all sizes.
Commercial Exterior Lighting
Exterior lighting constitutes a very critical element in commercial outdoor lighting systems as it illuminates all sides of the building and ensures that building access points are clearly lit in a balanced level of light that dispels shadows without glare. ILD designers utilize skills learned in architectural design cross training programs that enable them to link multiple buildings together in a field of natural-looking light that prevents unauthorized personnel from approaching the building without detection and also keeps walkways, sidewalks, and doorways in clear and constant view for nighttime visitors and workers. We also place additional, selective lighting around driveways and signs to ensure safe after-hours access for authorized vehicles and night deliveries.
Architectural Lighting
Hand in hand with exterior lighting is architectural lighting, which adds an aesthetic element to a commercial outdoor lighting system. Every building, regardless of size or builder design, features on or more unique points of differentiation that set it apart from surrounding structures. Because ILD has trained and worked for so many years with some of Houston's leading architectural firms, we are able to turn apparently ordinary structures into illuminated edifices of light that stand preeminent against the skyline and make a company stand out from its neighbors and competitors with a unique, impeccable appearance.
Landscape Lighting
As more and more smaller companies landscape their grounds to beautify and differentiate their property, and as increasing numbers of high-end clients look to upgrade and expand their commercial outdoor lighting systems, ILD completes almost every commercial lighting project with landscape lighting design combinations that work to highlight natural beauty and unite terrain with human engineering to create a synthesis of terrain and structure. After many years of partnership with Houston’s leading landscapers, we have perfected a technique of combining four distinctive layers of light that enables us to illuminate atriums and flower beds to water features and tree lines at high-end resorts.
By combining layered lighting and cost-effective energy saving technology in each of these five major arenas, Illuminations Lighting can Design an outdoor commercial lighting system for any company of any size, anywhere in Texas.
