3 Tips To Lower Commercial Parking Garage Maintenance Costs

Feb 23rd 2018

Parking garages present an interesting challenge when you are planning your lighting system, purchasing materials, and paying your monthly electric bills. After all, you have a number of concerns that have to be addressed. The first is that your parking garage’s lights are going to be on almost all the time. The second is that you need an area that is bright enough to provide a safe driving environment. The average parking garage is crowded with both cars and foot traffic. Not only that, it is very difficult for natural sunlight to reach most areas in a parking garage, restricting your lighting options down to artificial means. When you work with superior lighting, you can be sure that you will have the high-efficiency lights you need to keep your garage safe.

Here are three tips from Superior Lighting on how to cut back on your maintenance costs for your commercial parking garage.

  1. Use LED bulbs for fewer replacement costs

One of the best qualities of LED lights is that they have an incredible lifespan. This is a useful feature for a place like a parking garage, where traffic cones, workers on stepladders, and anything else that goes into fixing a broken or burn out bulb will create a nuisance for drivers. When your bulbs live a long time, you don’t have to spend as much money to replace your bulbs. This LED Vapor Tight garage fixture is rated for 50,000 hours of life.

  1. Use durable lighting fixtures to prevent damage

One of the good things about LED lights is the fact that the bulb itself is made out of more durable materials than incandescent or fluorescent lights. That can protect them from damage from either vandals or an extension protruding off of a moving vehicle. However, beyond the bulb itself, it is crucial to have a sturdy fixture that will protect your bulb. These LED canopy lights are in durable casings for use in garages.

  1. Reduce your monthly electric bills with LEDs

Because LED bulbs are so efficient, you are likely to see lower costs for each monthly electric bill when you use them. That’s a great way to save money on overall maintenance costs. It can work out to be a better investment than a cheap, flimsy bulb that you will just have to replace over and over again. Like all LED bulbs, this round garage fixture features low energy use.
