Why hire a professional lighting company for re-lamping instead of doing it in-house?
Professionals ensure safety, efficiency, and proper disposal of old bulbs, while also identifying opportunities for upgrades that untrained staff might miss.
How is light output measured during a re-lamping project?
Installers use lux meters to verify brightness levels meet design standards and ensure consistent illumination throughout the facility.
What are the benefits of LED lighting for parking lots?
LEDs reduce energy costs, require less maintenance, and provide consistent brightness year-round. They also perform well in cold Alberta climates.
How many lights are typically needed for a commercial parking lot?
The number depends on lot size, pole height, and desired brightness. Designers use photometric analysis to ensure even coverage without glare or dark spots.
Why is parking lot lighting important for commercial properties?
Proper parking lot lighting improves visibility, enhances safety, and deters vandalism or theft. It also makes customers and employees feel more secure after dark.
What’s the expected lifespan of new lamps after re-lamping?
LED lamps typically last 25,000–50,000 hours, depending on usage patterns and environment, minimizing the need for frequent replacements.
Can re-lamping improve employee comfort in offices or warehouses?
Definitely. New lamps deliver even illumination, reduce glare, and improve color tone, which supports productivity and visual comfort.
What safety steps are taken during large-scale re-lamping?
Installers isolate circuits, use proper lift equipment, and dispose of old bulbs—especially fluorescents—following environmental safety protocols.
Are LED lamps compatible with existing fixtures during re-lamping?
In many cases, yes. Retrofit LED lamps can fit into current housings, but some fixtures may need ballast bypass or rewiring for optimal performance.
How does re-lamping affect maintenance budgets?
Although re-lamping requires upfront investment, it reduces emergency service calls and energy bills, leading to overall cost savings.
