LED Outdoor Lighting: Reliability Key in ROI
Green Outdoor Lighting Has to be Dependable
Cities, towns and organizations throughout the Bay Area and beyond in California are struggling to ensure the profitability and sustainability of their infrastructure projects. Especially in light of the Golden State’s horrendous ongoing drought, you want to save money and minimize inefficiencies wherever possible.
Enter green outdoor lighting featuring LED technology. LED lighting is not only environmentally-friendly, but studies have repeatedly demonstrated that it is also more cost efficient than other, traditional types of municipal and corporate lighting. However, in order to maximize ROI, the solution must be reliable.
The Critical Importance of Robust Lighting Solutions
The goal of installing outdoor LED landscape lighting or street lighting isn’t just to save money in the short term or reduce your carbon dioxide footprint. It’s to ensure a long term, profitable, simple, safe and efficient system. Lack of reliability can mortally compromise this effort.
For example, let’s say your company’s equipment fails to protect against surge issues or just sudden damage to your lighting infrastructure. A lightning storm or earthquake can ravage the system and generate sudden, surprising costs. You can’t prepare against everything, but you can employ “best practices” to minimize such problems. Likewise, chronic wear and tear on LED systems can also create hazards and overages, if you’re not careful regarding installation or maintenance.
Designing for Reliability
To ensure that LED street lighting, landscape lighting and other solutions deliver a sustainable ROI, you need to consider reliability at the design stage. Design plans should include protection from surges and extreme environmental conditions, such as excessive heat. In addition, a system must be in place to monitor lighting equipment, predict problems and detect failures as soon as they occur.
