Commercial Outdoor Lighting
Illumiday provides commercial spaces in Cary, NC, with outdoor lighting that’s both sleek and durable to make your space safer and more inviting for your guests.
Professional Commercial Outdoor Lighting Installation Services
Providing your guests and people walking by with ample commercial outdoor lighting is key to creating a safe environment that feels welcoming. Nobody wants to approach a dark building or take a chance going through a dark parking lot or walkway. Lighting up the path will provide security, which is a must if people need to use your building in winter when it gets darker earlier.
Lighting is a necessary safety and security feature, but use it to your advantage to create a welcoming ambiance. Curb appeal greatly affects commercial spaces, so if your building looks approachable from the start, it will help the business on the inside.
The right landscape services don’t just decorate a yard—they redefine it. We craft environments that enhance how you live, entertain, relax, and connect with the outdoors year-round.
Know Your Lighting Options
Having a lighting goal in mind for your space will help you determine which lights to choose. If ambiance is important to you, you won’t want bright flood lights.
Lighting options you can choose from include:
LED
Known for their energy efficiency and brightness, LED commercial outdoor lighting is far more effective than traditional bulbs. These lights are a no-brainer in open spaces like parking lots or campus walkways.
Weather Resistant
Outdoor lighting is specially designed to withstand the weather. Heavy storms, extreme heat and cold, and high winds won't damage your lighting when you choose fixtures built to last.
Automated
Automated lights make life easier. Set them to detect when the sun rises and sets, or choose specific times to turn on and off. The sunlight detector lights will save you from needing to remember when the time changes twice a year.
Motion Detector
Motion detector lights will help your cameras have clear recordings by lighting up the night when someone (or something) passes by. They can help you save money by not staying on all night.
Light Up Every Location
You need outdoor lights if your commercial space accepts visitors after dark. Whether you have a slim alleyway or a large field, you have several options to choose from:
Parking Lots, Roads, and Alleys
Keep drivers and pedestrians safe by lighting up paved areas. Outdoor LED lighting fixtures work wonders in these situations, and you can choose from wallpacks, pole lights, or flood lights.
Yard and Landscape
Landscape lighting can make security an aesthetically pleasing experience. Bollard lights or ingrade lighting integrate seamlessly into your landscape to create a sophisticated or relaxing environment.
Walkways and Stairs
Ingrade lighting along walkways will lead the way with subtle lighting, and it will keep pedestrians safe as they go up and down stairs.
Entryways and Signs
Show people the way with flood lights, canopy lights, bollard lights, or wall packs around signs and doors. Multicolored lights create a fun vibe and draw attention to the destination. Not only do these directional lights play a key role in helping visitors find your building, but they can also double as security lighting.
Why Outdoor Lighting Matters
Lighting may be one of those things you overlook, but curb appeal is everything in commercial spaces. If your building is perceived as too scary due to darkness or too uncomfortable because of bright lights, people will avoid your building, putting retail businesses at a huge disadvantage.
Public safety should be your first concern when you choose lights for your commercial space. People won’t return to your building if they feel unsafe on their visit. Choose lights that are bright enough for your guests to feel safe and for your cameras to clearly film incidents.
Lighting will affect your electric bill, too. Automated or motion detector lights reduce power usage by turning off when they’re not needed.
