Lighting in your business should be a bit brighter than what it would be in your home. You want employees and customers to be able to easily see where they are going and what they are doing so that they are comfortable and so that details are properly handled. These are a few ways that you can enhance your commercial lighting so that it’s beneficial to everyone and so that it’s beautiful to look at as well.
Parking
Make sure your parking lot is properly illuminated, especially if your business is open at night or if there will be people staying after hours to catch up on work that needs to be done. The lights that you install in the parking lot should be bright enough for people to clearly see all areas when it’s dark, and they should be set to where they come on if it’s raining or if there are other weather issues that result in darker skies during the day.
Placing the Lights
Commercial lighting should be used along steps and pathways. These lights will help to keep employees and customers safe and show them where they should walk. Avoid placing lights in areas where they could cast shadows that aren’t pleasing to look at or where they might shine in the opposite direction of where you want them to shine. If there is something special on your property that you want to highlight, then your lighting needs to be positioned so that it shines on this feature while also illuminating the walkway without needing to use multiple light sources.
Highest Quality
Although there are sometimes more options with solar lights, they might not be what’s best for your business. Consider the times when people will be at your business as this can often impact the types of lights that you install. Lights that are of higher quality often last longer and provide more illumination in the evening.
