Common Types of Commercial Outdoor Lighting

Commercial facilities need outdoor lighting for both aesthetic and functional reasons. They brighten up gardens and highlight architecture, as well as deter burglars and other kinds of trespassers. Commercial lighting comes in a variety of types, which have various lighting effects on surfaces. Here are some of them:

Wall or Awning Light

Most outdoor lighting withing this category are used for illuminating surfaces and signs along retail and commercial buildings. They are installed to keep signage visible to customers even from a distance, in some cases, they are used to illuminate directions or names of a room or building. Some models may come in adjustable shades and customizable mounting options.

Security Light

Unlike wall or awning lights, security lights provide a well-illuminated environment for people to have a wider visual. This is designed to deter criminal activities and/or monitor activities within a property. Modern types come with motion sensors, weather-resistant features, and surge protection for better and longer performance.

Marine light

Mostly seen in docks, marine lighting provides underwater lighting for boaters to see at least part of the water bed. Some come in a variety of colors to create exquisite effects in fountains and pools. They have waterproof light fixtures and can be used to communicate when using boats.
