Upgrading your facility’s exterior lighting improves safety, security, and visibility while dramatically reducing energy use and maintenance. Exterior LED lighting solutions deliver consistent light quality with longer lifespans and lower costs.
Exterior LED lighting refers to building-mounted or near-building outdoor lighting that enhances visibility, safety, and security. These systems are essential for illuminating entrances, pathways, loading areas, and building perimeters—especially during low-light hours or inclement weather.
Common fixture types include:
Wall packs and building-mounted lights
Canopy lights for covered entrances or drive-throughs
Security floodlights
Step lights and landscape bollards
Accent lighting for architectural features or signage
Exterior lighting can be retrofitted 1-for-1 or redesigned to improve uniformity, eliminate dark zones, and meet code requirements.
Improve nighttime safety for staff, visitors, and tenants
Enhance building security and deter trespassing
Reduce energy use by 60–80%
Extend fixture lifespan and reduce maintenance trips
Eliminate dark zones with better light distribution
Support lighting codes and LEED exterior lighting credits
Qualify for utility lighting and control rebates
Exterior lighting retrofits replace outdated HID or fluorescent fixtures with modern, efficient LEDs designed for outdoor environments. Features include:
Weatherproof and tamper-resistant housings
Directional optics for precision placement
Optional sensors for motion or dusk-to-dawn activation
Color temperatures suitable for visibility and security (typically 4000K–5000K)
Many buildings benefit from replacing mismatched exterior fixtures with a consistent, uniform solution that improves aesthetics and lighting performance.
Exterior lighting typically operates from dusk to dawn, making it a significant energy draw. LED fixtures cut wattage by more than half and offer:
Lower energy usage (kWh)
Reduced re-lamping and maintenance labor
Cooler operating temperatures (reducing heat on building envelope)
Sensor integration to avoid lighting unoccupied zones
Offices, schools, apartment complexes, industrial sites, retail centers, public buildings, and healthcare campuses—especially those with long overnight lighting needs.
Site Lighting Review – Evaluate current fixture types, spacing, and performance
Fixture Selection – Match optics and output to site-specific safety and usage needs
Control Strategy (Optional) – Incorporate sensors, dimming, or smart scheduling
Design Layout (if needed) – Improve uniformity and address blind spots
Installation – Perform safe, efficient retrofits with minimal disruption
Incentive Management – Apply for utility rebates or compliance documentation
Exterior LED projects typically qualify for:
Prescriptive utility rebates based on fixture wattage and hours
Custom incentives when paired with controls
On-bill repayment or shared-savings models
Bundled upgrade programs (lighting, HVAC, controls)
Exterior retrofits often provide fast payback due to long operating hours and high fixture wattage.
Exterior LED lighting improves visibility, enhances security, and lowers operating costs for your facility. Let’s assess your site and design a solution tailored to your needs.
