Residential, Commercial, Retail and Industrial Security Light: The First Security Provider That You Should Consider.
Ozburn Electric of Covington, GA, in conjunction with it’s outdoor lighting division, has made it a goal to create a safer experience for residential properties, commercial properties, retail locations, and industrial parking lots in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area. If you own a home, commercial property or manage an industrial plant, the first step in prevention of criminal activity or accidents in the dark could be as simple as enhancing your outdoor lighting. It keeps away those who want to illegally enter in plain sight and also provides comfort for the home owner, retail shopper or hard working employee. Recently added technologies such as alarms, security cameras, security networking and other accessories cost much more as compared to enhanced LED security lighting. LED lighting technology also offers affordability, energy efficiency, accessories such as motion sensors and various colors and more.
Newer improved outdoor LED parking lot lights provide the illumination you need in any environment making it safer for everyone. Ozburn Electric realizes that if parking lot safety is to increase, property owners need to realize the importance of enhanced lighting. In 2012, about 49 million LED lights were installed in the U.S. — saving about $675 million in annual energy costs. Switching entirely to LED lights over the next twenty years could save the U.S. $250 billion in energy costs, reduce electricity consumption for lighting by nearly 50 percent and avoid 1,800 million metric tons of carbon emissions. A recent survey shows that 60% of people say that security lights are the best way to secure their homes and retail locations from burglars or nefarious activity. Not only does LED lighting provide more enhanced lighting, the energy savings can be staggering. Business owners and managers everywhere are always looking to save money and increase production. One of the easiest places a company can save money is right outside in their parking lot.
When it comes to commercial or retail locations, such as a car dealership or a restaurant, most businesses possess a parking lot. Lighting a parking lot correctly is essential not only to the appearance of the building but to the safety of its patrons, employees and anyone that crosses the property . According to the latest National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 1 in 10 property crimes—including motor vehicle theft and property theft—occur in parking lots or garages. Terry Ozburn, owner of Ozburn Electric, summed it up when he said “It is as simple as this, properly lit parking lots deter crime and increase safety.”
If the safety aspect of LED lights isn’t enough, the mere financial saving alone can make switching to LEDs even that much more worth it. LEDs require up to 75% less energy in some cases to light the same area effectively, which drives the electric bill down. LEDs also have a lower maintenance cost. Since parking lot fixtures are on average over 20 feet in the air, a company with bucket trucks and lifts are usually required when it comes time to service the fixture. Ozburn Electric’s outdoor lighting division has all of the equipment to make the job of installing or upgrading simple and within budget. With LEDs, the amount of maintenance needed is drastically reduced, saving your business money on maintenance costs. And lastly, the lumen depreciation is much less in LEDs. In High-Pressure Sodium and Metal Halides fixtures, the light being outputted toward the end of its lifetime could be reduced to about 50% of its rated output. For LEDs, the lumen depreciation is around 15% loss of light at the end of the lights lifetime, drastically reducing dark areas of parking lots and garages.
LED lighting also offers other advantages such as motion sensors, daylight sensors, variable color changes, and more. Some of the advantages of using outdoor motion sensor security lights are when you are away from your home or your commercial property and the sensors detect any motion within their range, the lights will brighten the entire yard or parking light in any direction they are pointed in. This will definitely give you a better sense of security since it has been proven that residences, retail parking and industrial facilities with security lights are less prone to be attacked by persons with criminal intent. Security lights are manufactured to suit every budget and Ozburn Electric can help you determine the best lighting for your situation.
Enhanced LED lighting even offers more than proper lighting and effective security. On a funny note it acts as an effective pest control mechanism, keeping away skunks, raccoons, deer, rabbits etc because none of these pest like to be in bright light. Security light help in saving costs as they are inherently efficient and you can program them to only come on when required unlike other light that need to be left on day and night. Studies by security light manufactures have shown that Energy savings can vary from ten to fifteen percent of the entire lighting power use which is mainly because of the use of the EMS or energy management system technology.
With all the pros mentioned, the enhancement of newer more efficient LED security and parking lot lights can be quite a gain to homes, retail locations, commercial and industrial parking lot security. In a sense, you can’t afford to not have the proper lighting on your property.
