Outdoor Lighting Maintenance

Maintenance of outdoor lighting can be more complicated than you think. Even switching from a low voltage halogen bulb, for example, may require the knowledge that only a trained outdoor lighting maintenance professional would know. Specifications not available to consumers can determine the critical success of the mission or the failure of a replacement. Reliable and long-lasting results depend on knowing at what wattage the accessory has been designed, which beam propagation lamp is used for different results and what temperatures allow the light to burn with optimum safety and maximum half-life. Illuminations Lighting Design's outdoor lighting maintenance team is here to help you with any questions and to develop replacement and upgrade solutions that will protect both your investment and your personal safety at any time you think you might have a problem.

Many things in life can and should bring great satisfaction to "do it yourself," but ELECTRICAL WORK IS NOT ONE OF THEM. Due to the hazards of shock and electrical failure, they always warn even the most skilled and mechanically inclined to hire their exterior lighting maintenance from trained and certified electrical professionals. Even if you took an electronics course in college or trading school and feel confident that you know wiring and lighting, please understand that technology evolves more quickly each day, and every piece of new equipment has a mind of its own , So to speak, when it comes to interacting with other pieces of equipment. Some outdoor lighting fixtures, such as HID accessories, require the use of a ballast to drive the lamp.

Maintenance professionals are usually the only people with access to the right ballast models and with the necessary training to install them. Low voltage devices require a 12 volt power supply, and misalignment of a low voltage light with a high voltage power supply can turn the light off instantaneously. Even more daunting for a consumer who just bought some of the latest MR16 lamps is the sinking feeling of doing everything right and then seeing the bulb prematurely fail in a matter of days. This is true of MR16 lamps because the glass packaging that makes up the light reflectors is highly sensitive to oil. Only a small deposit of a person's fingers can cause premature exhaustion. An even more serious situation occurs when an owner mistakenly installs an interior light designed for dry places in his backyard or front yard. Houston humidity can quickly cause a short circuit that could result in severe or even fatal electrocution.

Maintaining exterior lighting involves more than simply replacing faulty equipment. It involves optimizing existing equipment configurations so that homeowners can receive the best return on their financial investment possible and maintain the highest value that exterior lighting brings to their property. We often change clusters of lamps to deal with lamp depreciation, color change and normal life expectancy.
