Property managers are responsible for ensuring that their properties are not only functional and comfortable for their residents, but also visually appealing and safe. One way to achieve both of these goals is by adding customized outdoor lighting to your property. Outdoor lighting can provide numerous benefits that go beyond simply illuminating a space at night. However, installation is just the first step. It is unwise to set-it-and-forget-it. Read more to learn how a custom design and installation PLUS a maintenance package is crucial for the best return on your outdoor lighting investment.
Safety
Safety is one of the most important reasons to add outdoor lighting to your property. Well-lit pathways and entryways can help prevent accidents and injuries. With a custom-designed landscape lighting system you can rest assured your property offers safe recreation and navigation after dark. With beauty-enhancing lighting, you can subtly provide an added layer of protection for your property and its residents.
Security
Outdoor lighting is also an effective way to enhance the security of your property. By illuminating dark corners and shadows, you can make it more difficult for criminals to hide and carry out their nefarious activities. This can help make your property a less attractive target for thieves and vandals. Additionally, security lighting can be integrated with security cameras to provide 24/7 surveillance of your property.
Liability
As a property manager, you have a legal obligation to maintain a safe environment for your residents and visitors. This means taking steps to prevent accidents and injuries, such as providing adequate lighting in common areas. Failure to do so can leave you open to liability claims. By installing outdoor lighting, you can mitigate this risk and help protect yourself and your property from legal action.
Neighborhood Appeal
Outdoor lighting can also make your property more attractive and appealing to prospective guests, renters, or buyers. The increased desirability of the property continues to grow with that added sense of safety and security provided by the lights. This can help increase the value of your property. If you’re managing a neighborhood, your homeowners will praise your wise decision-making as they watch their equity grow. If you own a commercial property, you’ll be well on your way to building long-term wealth.
Maintenance
While some property managers may think that they can save money by having their lawn maintenance crews install and maintain their outdoor lighting, this can actually lead to more problems. Lawn maintenance crews are not trained in outdoor lighting and can cause damage or even create safety hazards if they attempt to install or work on the lights.
