How Housing Developments Benefit From Outdoor LED Lighting

Outdoor LED Lighting Projects Pay Off Long and Short Term

Whether you’re a Bay Area real estate developer or the president of a home owners association (HOA), you’re researching outdoor LED landscape lighting to explore whether switching over can:

  • Boost curb appeal for your property
  • Improve neighborhood safety for residents
  • Conserve electricity and save money

Fortunately, research validates that switching over to LED can actually achieve all three of these objectives.

Analysis of outdoor LED lighting projects suggests that LEDs can lead to a reduction in energy bills of up to 70 percent. Experts believe that electricity costs will increase over the next five years; by transitioning to LEDs now, you can reduce your current costs while mitigating the effect that increases in electricity costs will have on you.

In addition, many power companies want to conserve electricity and other resources, especially in light of the California drought. Utility companies, along with state and local municipalities, often offer incentives and rebates for HOA communities that convert to more efficient systems.

Studies conducted in over a dozen cities around the world also attest to the safety element. Installing LED lighting in public spaces makes those spaces safer. End of story. LEDs are bright, low maintenance, durable and robust. Criminals, bored teenagers up to no good and malcontents generally do not like to operate in places that are well lit and “clean looking.” This concept is at the heart of the famous “Broken Window” theory of crime deterrence which urges that, when places are illuminated and well-kept, criminal activity declines in those areas.

Lastly, there is a cachet to switching over to LED, because of the positive environmental effects. Bay Area homeowners are very environmentally conscious; they want to do their part to reduce global warming and conserve energy. Housing developments with LEDs installed can brag about their lighting paradigm to prospective owners and renters, who will also notice the clean and attractive appearance of the lighting systems in the evening.
