Now that we are finally approaching the end of summer and the extremely hot days it brings, it’s important to ensure your outdoor lighting system is working efficiently and effectively. It’s always a good idea this time of year to go outside both during the daytime as well as the nighttime and inspect your outdoor lighting system. Perhaps your summer mowing, or the numerous storms have caused some damage to your fixtures, or perhaps you just have burnt out bulbs. The point is, you won’t notice the need for repairs or maintenance if you don’t go and take a close look at your system.
At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia, we want to make it a point everyone knows we service all systems. It doesn’t matter if your system was installed 15 years ago by a company no longer in business, we will still provide service on your system. What most people don’t realize is, we won’t just diagnose the problem, we will also look to see if your existing system can be better used. If your fixtures need to be moved around to create a better lighting effect, we will provide you with a free estimate. We take pride in our ability to design the best outdoor lighting systems in Columbia, SC and surrounding areas.
This time of year is when we see a lot of bent fixtures or fixtures which need to be realigned. In addition to bent or knocked over fixtures, we also see dirt covering the lenses of some of our uplights. As longer evenings steadily approach, it’s a great idea to have your system fully prepped for them. The days are only getting shorter and the nights longer, so make sure your outdoor lighting system is providing your home with the beauty it deserves. If you have burn out bulbs or bent fixtures, you’re not getting the full effect outdoor lighting was designed to deliver.
