Pole lights, building-mounted floods, security lighting, signage power. Installation, replacement, and LED conversions. Brighter parking lots, lower energy bills, fewer maintenance calls.
Exterior commercial lighting is what your customers and employees see when they arrive after dark. A poorly-lit parking lot signals neglect, increases liability exposure, and reduces security. A well-designed lighting system makes your property look good, keeps people safe, and now — with LED — costs a fraction of what older HID systems cost to operate.
ABC Electric installs and services parking lot and exterior lighting for businesses across central Kentucky. New installations on bare lots, retrofits of existing pole lights, building-mounted floods, security and motion lighting, signage power, and decorative architectural lighting. We work with property owners, property management companies, retail tenants, and HOAs.
LED conversion is one of our most-requested services. Older metal halide and high-pressure sodium pole lights typically draw 400+ watts each and produce orange or yellow light. Modern LED replacements draw 100-150 watts and produce white light that better illuminates the property. The energy savings are dramatic, fixture life is 5-10x longer, and the light quality makes your property feel safer.
Here is what is typically included when we handle this service for you.
New parking lot pole lights. Photometric design, photocell controls, LED fixtures.
Wall-pack and flood fixtures for building exterior, loading docks, alleys.
Motion-activated security lights, perimeter lighting, dusk-to-dawn fixtures.
Channel letter signs, monument signs, illuminated awnings — power and timer install.
Convert existing HID pole lights to LED. Massive energy savings, better light.
