The perimeter of the building of course needs to be lit up for many reasons, employees coming and going all hours, for security guards to be able to see, and of course for security. When a parking lot or perimeter of a building is well lit, it deters would be thieves. One of the best ways to accomplish this type of lighting is with sensor lighting. The lights will automatically turn on when motion is detected in the area so your employees will be able to the enter building during twilight hours, go through the parking lot, and the security guard will know if anyone is in an area. Once the movement is no longer detected, the lights will also go off automatically.
The parking lot can be a dangerous place where criminals lurk in shadows. Businesses do not want the extra expense of having lights on during the nighttime hours, but they also want to protect their employees. Sensor lighting set up properly will provide the security the employees need and will save money from lighting lighting on the entire night.
Roadways leaving an industrial area are often dark but in most cases, the business does not wish to pay for lighting all the way to the main road. Once again, using sensor lighting is the answer. Poles can be installed with sensor lights that will come on as a car approaches, making it safe for travelers and saving the business company at the same time.
The best thing to remember when looking for the optimal lighting solution for your exterior business areas is to find cost effective solutions. Sensor lighting just happens to be one of the best, as you will not have to pay for energy you are not using.
