Benefits and Importance of Resort Outdoor Lighting

A great exterior lighting system can add ambiance to a property, but outdoor lighting systems are also important to provide adequate lighting in your parking areas, driveways & pathways, and entrances to make your guest feel secure. A few benefits to having exterior security lighting are:

  • Deter intruders and unwanted animals
  • Prevent accidents, lighting makes it less likely to trip and fall on pathways
  • Increase your curb appeal, lights placed on the ground to shine up at a resort can create an elegant and eye-catching look

Having your lighting systems retrofitted to LED can be such a huge cost savings. Because LED bulbs last so much longer, properties buy and change fewer bulbs overall. On top of those cost-savings are reductions in energy bills. An LED bulb uses only two-thirds the energy that an incandescent bulb uses, which amounts to a fair amount of energy savings—whether a small or large-scale property.

Making the Switch from Halogen to LED

/in , , , , /by

 

We have seen a lot of changes and progress within the lighting industry over the past decade. As with everything these days, newer technology and efficiency is developed and becomes available over time. An outdoor lighting system installed many years ago may be becoming old or even obsolete compared to today’s standards.

Halogen bulbs used to dominate the lighting industry. It was not until a few years ago that LED began to take over and become the industry standard. Now, it has become the choice of many outdoor lighting designers.

A few of the advantages of using LED vs Halogen are:

  • Longer Lifetime
  • More Durable
  • Low Energy Consumption
  • Easy to replace
  • They do not attract insects because LED lights emit very little heat and UV light
  • Much more cost effective

In these photos, you can see the before and after of a parking garage that Texas Outdoor Lighting converted from Halogen to LED.

If we haven’t convinced you yet of all the benefits of making the switch to LED, read this article from the Washington Post. Many manufacturers have stopped carrying Halogen light bulbs making it harder and more expensive to replace your bulbs.

Texas Outdoor Lighting offers free consultations to see if we can convert your current lighting system to LED, or one of our designers can work with you to design your dream lighting system. Give us a call today to schedule! (512) 504-3030
