There are many different styles and options in outdoor LED lighting solutions for any commercial property. Finding the best quality in style, durability, and style is not just about looking for a great price, it is about knowing the lighting needs before starting to shop.

Not all lighting styles and options are ideal for all commercial buildings or even for specific locations on a property. Too often property owners use the incorrect fixture or lumens which may result in reduced visibility or in a lower quality of light in a given location.

To address these issues, here are the important factors to keep in mind when choosing new fixtures or when upgrading to outdoor LED lighting from other lighting options.

Light Quality and Visibility

The light quality produced by an LED bulb will be a true color, particularly when compared to other options in outdoor lighting. There is the option to choose cool, neutral or warm lights and these can typically be interchanged in any LED fixture.

Keep in mind; the LED lighting solutions are virtually instant on and off lighting. This is also very different than other outside lighting for commercial buildings that may take minutes to warm up and provide light.

Fixture Style

A very pronounced difference with outdoor LED lighting is the streamlined and low-profile look of the fixtures. With the different options from wall packs to wall mounted lights or the use of LED floodlights, it is easy to create a discrete lighting scheme that provides the light required in the desired light pattern, directing illumination where it is required.

Challenging Locations

Identifying challenging areas to light should be a priority. Often LED flood lights are ideal for these locations, providing the most flexibility in mounting options to any pole, wall or structure.

As these lights can be mounted high up on these structures, they are very secure. With the longer bulb life, they will also operate for years without the need for any maintenance.
