Safe, bright parking and facade lighting

Exterior Lighting

Exterior LED lighting improves security, curb appeal, and visitor experience while cutting energy and maintenance costs. We handle parking lots, building facades, walkways, and signage lighting.

Exterior LED lighting upgrades cover parking lots, building facades, walkways, canopies, and signage. We specify LED Shoebox area lights for parking lots, LED Wallpacks for building facades, and decorative LED fixtures for entrance canopies — all with photocell controls for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation. Our exterior LED installations consistently deliver 60–70% energy savings and a noticeable improvement in site safety and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What LED fixtures work best for parking lot lighting?

LED Shoebox area lights (also called parking lot lights) are the standard choice. We size them based on pole height, lot dimensions, and required foot-candle levels per IES standards. For most commercial lots with 20-ft poles, 80W–150W LED Shoeboxes deliver optimal coverage.

How does LED exterior lighting improve security?

HPS and metal halide fixtures produce orange-tinted light with a CRI below 30, making it difficult for security cameras to capture usable images. LED fixtures with CRI>70 deliver white, natural light that dramatically improves camera performance and deters criminal activity.

Can exterior LED lighting be installed in phases across multiple sites?

Yes. We specialize in multi-site exterior LED projects, deploying crews concurrently and coordinating rebate applications as a portfolio submission. This is a common approach for retail chains, restaurant groups, and property management companies.

What are photocell controls and should we add them?

Photocells automatically turn exterior lights on at dusk and off at dawn. They eliminate the cost of lighting left on during daylight hours — a common waste in facilities without automated controls. We include photocells as standard on all exterior LED installations.
