Choosing the Right Lighting & Lighting Supplier for Your Next Commercial Property Development Project

As a property developer, you want to ensure your projects are not only aesthetically pleasing but also energy-efficient, cost-effective, and durable. One way to achieve these goals is by incorporating LED lighting into your next development project. Here, we'll explain why LED lighting is the ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor lighting and what to look for in a lighting supplier.

Lighting for the Property You're Developing

Energy Efficiency

It's well known that LED lights are highly efficient and consume less energy than traditional lighting sources. But did you know their high efficiency may qualify them for incentives from the property's utility provider? These incentives can net you big savings on the cost of not just lights but advanced lighting controls too. So, not only will your lighting installation contribute to a green, sustainable development, you'll create a more financially sustainable project.

Versatility

LED lights offer a wide range of brightness options, with excellent color accuracy and vibrancy. This allows you to create an inviting atmosphere for lessees, and safe and secure parking and outdoor areas.

LED lighting can be easily customized and adjusted, giving you greater control over the ambiance and mood of indoor and outdoor spaces. With the flexibility of field-selectable LED lights, lighting can be tailored to the specific needs and mood of each space.

Durability

Ensure your development project stays bright and functional for years to come. LED lights are highly durable. Models are available that are resistant to damage from vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures.

The Lighting Supplier for the Property You're Developing

When choosing a lighting supplier, it's important to consider the following factors:

Quality

Ensure your supplier provides high-quality LED lights that meet industry standards and have a long lifespan. You want to make sure that your investment lasts and that the lighting adds value to your development project. And you want to make sure the supplier will be in business for a long time to come—what good is a 5-year warranty with no one to back it? 

Customer Support

Choose a supplier that offers excellent customer support and technical assistance. A good supplier will work with you to ensure a smooth and hassle-free installation process and will be available to answer any questions you may have. Don't hesitate to ask for customer referrals. 

Flexibility

Look for a supplier that offers flexible and customizable lighting solutions. Your development project is unique, and you want a lighting solution that fits your specific needs and requirements. Do they only have what's on their website, or do they have access to additional lighting catalogs? A quick text, email, or phone call can let you know if they're willing to work with you on more complex lighting needs. (It'll also give you an idea of how responsive the company is.)

Competitive Pricing

Consider suppliers that offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options, without sacrificing quality or customer support. You want to get the best value for your investment, without sacrificing the quality of the lighting solution.

Even better: Look for a supplier dedicated to getting you all the savings available to you. This includes utility-offered rebates and incentives. A good supplier will tell you how much is available and help make sure you secure those funds.

Expertise

Choose a supplier with a proven track record of delivering successful LED lighting projects and extensive expertise in the field. You want to work with a supplier who knows what they're doing and who can provide you with the best possible results. How long have they been in business? Have they supplied jobs similar to yours? What kind of people do they have—technicians, engineers, designers? What kind of turnover do they have? Are you likely to have the same point person in two years that you have today?
