Self-storage companies strive to provide customers with clean, well-lit units to store valuables. With outdoor lighting that has to be on from dusk until dawn, it doesn’t make sense to use dim, inefficient high-pressure sodium lighting around the units. Self-storage companies need LED lights, a brighter and more efficient option to save money on electricity and keep costs down for customers. LED lighting consumes 50-80% less energy than traditional lighting options and lasts over a decade.
Relumination contracted with Tempe Storage Company in Tempe, Ariz., to update its exterior lighting from 215-watt high-pressure sodium lamps to 26-watt LED lamps, reducing the number of watts used per hour from 8,800 watts to 1,144 watts, and reducing energy consumption from its lighting by 87%. The LED lights are estimated to last 12 years, saving the self-storage company $4,000 yearly on maintenance and electricity costs. Along with monetary savings, the LEDs improved the lighting quality for Tempe Storage Company and created a safer environment for customers loading and unloading items at night. Thanks to the brighter light, the facility can also see more detail on its 24-hour security cameras.
