Enhance Security with Outdoor Lighting

 Weather it be at your home or your business, having outdoor lighting is important! While outdoor lighting can increase your curb appeal, it also enhances your security! Read on to learn about a few of the benefits of installing outdoor lighting from Catalyst Electric!



Security

If you don't have a well-lit parking lot for your business, you risk and/or invite thieves and vandalism into your business. Thieves typically target dark places because they think they can slip under the radar and without lighting, in most cases, they can. Having a brightly lit parking lot will make your customers and employees feel safe when they walk to and from their vehicles. In some cases, customers with their safety in mind will not shop at a business with poor lighting. 

If lighting is not present at back doors and side entrances at your home, you are asking for break-ins. Dark areas of your home allow thieves to easily scope out your home for future break-ins when no one is home. Consider having Catalyst Electric install outdoor lighting at the Lake of the Ozarks to help prevent break-ins at your home!

Safety 

Depending on your business hours, it is likely that at some point it will not be completely light outside when customers come to your business. Even if you are not open during the early morning hours or in the evening, overcast skies or storms can dramatically reduce visibility. Without the proper lighting, you are asking for someone to slip and fall. This is not good for your business because you could risk a lawsuit or at the bare minimum have to pay for the medical expenses. Don't risk your business being at fault. Installing well-lit entrances, sidewalks, and parking lots will save you a lot of trouble in the future. 

At your home, installing porch lighting and driveway lighting is a good idea. This will help you and your family members get to and from the car in a safe manner. Especially if you have been grocery shopping or have a lot to carry in, nothing is more frustrating than not being able to see where you are going when you have your hands full. 

Visually Appealing 

Having great lighting at your business welcomes your customers in and sends them a message that says, "yes we're open!" With poor lighting, you can send a message to your customers that you may not be open. Don't risk lost business just because you didn't install enough lighting. 

At your home, adding lighting can enhance the aesthetics of your home. Brighten up your entryway, garden area, landscape, and outdoor space. When your outdoor entertainment area is well-lit it gives you the option to enjoy your outdoor space even longer because you can stay outside even when the sun goes down!
