Commercial Lighting Problems Addressed by Our Skilled Team
Outdated or failing commercial lighting systems diminish property appearance, compromise security, and increase energy costs.
Not Enough Outlets for Modern Living
We add new dedicated circuits and outlets so your home keeps up with today's growing electrical needs.
High Commercial Energy Overhead
Inefficient metal-halide or fluorescent fixtures consume excess wattage and require frequent, costly bulb maintenance cycles.
Dark Workspace and Parking Lot Blind Spots
Poorly placed exterior floodlights leave dark zones around commercial entrances, walkways, and loading docks.
Persistent Fixture Buzzing and Flickering
Deteriorating ballasts and worn commercial driver circuits create distracting visual noise and employee eye strain.
Non-Compliant Emergency Exit Lighting
Depleted backup battery units or unlit egress exit signs fail strict commercial fire codes and building inspections.
Unreliable Lighting Control Systems
Outdated manual switches leave exterior security lights operating during daylight hours, wasting enterprise energy.

Deciding Between Ballast Replacement and Complete Commercial LED Retrofitting
Determining whether to repair existing fluorescent or HID fixtures or upgrade to a full commercial LED retrofit depends on maintenance costs and energy efficiency targets. Replacing aging ballasts and individual tubes provides a temporary fix, but it locks your business into ongoing bulb replacements and high utility consumption. Converting your facility to integrated commercial LED fixtures eliminates ballast maintenance completely, slashes energy usage by up to 70%, and provides bright, uniform illumination that enhances security and workforce productivity. Our commercial electrical team provides detailed energy ROI audits to help you make the best choice for your property.
Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial & Security Lighting
How much can my business save by upgrading to commercial LED lighting?
Upgrading from legacy fluorescent, metal-halide, or high-pressure sodium fixtures to commercial LEDs typically reduces lighting energy usage by 50% to 70%. Combined with extended fixture lifespans that eliminate ongoing maintenance calls, most commercial retrofits pay for themselves rapidly.
What type of security lighting is best for commercial building perimeters?
Commercial perimeters benefit most from heavy-duty, wall-mounted LED wall packs paired with automated photocells for dusk-to-dawn operation. Adding high-output motion-activated floodlights around loading docks and alleyways deters unauthorized access effectively.
How often should commercial emergency exit signs and egress lights be tested?
Commercial building safety codes require monthly 30-second functional tests of all battery-powered exit signs and emergency lights, along with an annual 90-minute full battery discharge test to ensure uninterrupted illumination during emergency power outages.
Can commercial lighting controls be automated to reduce energy waste?
Yes, we install smart commercial controls, including occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting dimmers, programmable digital timers, and photocells that adjust light levels automatically based on room occupancy and natural sunlight availability.
What is photometric lighting design, and why is it useful for commercial properties?
Photometric design uses specialized software to map light distribution across your floor plan or parking lot before installation. This ensures optimal foot-candle light levels, eliminates dangerous dark spots, and prevents light pollution onto neighboring properties.
