Our Experience Switching to Bulk LED Pole Lights for a Commercial Parking Lot

  • June 2, 2026 2:19 PM PDT

    I wanted to share our recent experience replacing outdated HID fixtures with LED pole lights across a commercial parking facility.

    Project Overview:

    • 120 parking spaces
    • Existing HID fixtures over 12 years old
    • Rising maintenance expenses
    • Poor nighttime visibility

    Why We Chose LED Pole Lights:

    • Improved light distribution
    • Lower operating costs
    • Enhanced security
    • Reduced maintenance visits

    Results After Installation:

    • Noticeably brighter parking areas
    • Improved visibility for drivers and pedestrians
    • Significant reduction in energy consumption
    • Fewer lighting-related maintenance calls

    Has anyone else completed a similar outdoor lighting upgrade?

    I'd be interested in learning:

    • Expected ROI timelines
    • Recommended lumen levels
    • Pole light spacing best practices
    • Long-term reliability experiences

    Sharing insights could help others planning commercial outdoor lighting projects.
