Lower Your Operating Expenses While Increasing Safety and Security With LED Self Storage Lighting

How can self storage facilities benefit from LED lighting?
Increased Energy Savings
LED lighting for self-storage facilities immediately makes an impact after installation. Commercial LED lights for storage facilities are far more efficient than traditional lighting technology and use up to 75% less electricity. As a result, owners and operators dramatically minimize one of their highest operating costs.
Eliminate Maintenance
When evaluating LED lights for storage facilities, the cost associated with ongoing maintenance is one of the most underappreciated benefits often overlooked. With new long-life LED lighting in storage facilities, staff no longer focus on replacing parts, and the labor associated with servicing lights is virtually eliminated.
Greater Safety and Security
Lighting for self-storage facilities is critical for safe environments for both customers and employees. Providing the appropriate light levels, as defined by the Illuminating Engineering Society Standards, is essential for any storage business to reduce accidents, ensure well-being, and deter crime. In addition, high-quality lighting produced by LED solutions allows security cameras to capture more physical features and enable customers to walk around safely without the dangers associated with poor visibility.
Enhanced Visibility
Proper lighting is essential for the safety of employees and customers visiting the premises. However, legacy lighting technology can make it challenging to get adequate lighting coverage for every area of a facility, especially in more remote areas. Commercial LED lighting for storage businesses offers more precise control of where lights are positioned and provides more options for light distribution. These capabilities help to reduce wasted light, eliminate light trespass, and create a better experience with improved visibility overall in the facility.
Improves Property Value
High-quality LED lighting establishes a better experience for customers if a self-storage facility is open at night. When customers feel comfortable inside the facility with improved lighting, they are willing to pay more for safety, security, and enhanced curb appeal. Additionally, self-storage owners and operators can demonstrate that their brand is dedicated to making a meaningful impact on environmental issues by using highly efficient LED lighting solutions. This initiative helps to influence a customer's trust and builds an identity that people will quickly seek out for future business. Furthermore, there are tax advantages for lighting improvements inside facilities.
