Alternatives for outside lighting

Many small businesses are unaware that there are energy efficient alternatives for outside lighting.

This section will show you how to reduce the energy costs associated with lighting for security, car parks, entry areas, walkways and building illumination.

In addition to switching to energy efficient lighting, you should also look to install:

  • Motion detectors –  where these are appropriate, they stop outside lighting from being left on for extended periods. They can enhance security whilst helping to reduce lighting costs.
  • Daylight sensors –  linking a daylight sensor to the lights on the perimeter of your building ensures that they remain off during the daytime.

 

Using solar for outside lighting

If you have an outdoor pathway that needs to be lit at night, install solar lights. They don’t have to be installed by an electrician and during the day they get recharged by the sun.
