LED Outdoor Lighting
For commercial buildings
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, LED outdoor lighting increases safety and security at a commercial property while reducing energy use. Properly specified, LEDs reduce unwanted or unnecessary light trespass, and can easily incorporate controls. There are incentive-qualifying LED fixture options for a variety of exterior applications, including parking lots, pathways, parking garages, canopies and exterior walls. LED fixture and lamp requirements vary by utility.
