Why it matters

What outdoor lighting does for your business

It improves security, draws customers in with curb appeal and shows off your building’s architecture.

Aesthetics

Your facade, at its best

Warm light on a historic building or vibrant color on modern architecture puts your space in the best light.

Security

A natural deterrent

Well-lit exteriors discourage intruders and remove the dark corners they look for.

Customer safety

No dark corners

A clear, lit way in lowers the risk of falls and other accidents around your premises.

Extended hours

Open after dark

As daylight fades, a well-lit business keeps attracting nighttime customers and foot traffic.

Types of outdoor lighting

Four lighting types, each with its own job

Architectural, landscape, signage and display, and holiday and event lighting cover the building, the grounds, your brand and your occasions.

Choosing the right lighting

Lighting planned around how your business works

Different spaces need different lighting, so we start with safety, ambiance and visibility.

Assess your needs

Safety, ambiance, visibility

Brighter light in parking areas, softer light near seating, all blended with your brand.

Design and placement

Entrances, paths, signs

Strategic placement highlights architecture or landscaping and maximizes visibility.

LED lighting

Less power, longer life

LEDs cut energy bills and replacement frequency, a good fit for New Orleans’ warm climate.

Color temperature

Matched to your hours

Adjust brightness and color temperature to fit your business hours and style.

Smart systems

Remote control and scheduling

Control lights remotely and schedule them so they are on only when needed.

Solar-powered lights

Sunlight by day, light by night

They harness sunlight during the day to light your space at night and cut electricity costs.

Outdoor lighting design should never be an afterthought. The entrance, pathways and signs deserve the most care.
