Bay Lighting is committed to continuing to advance these efforts by providing accessible, efficient light bulb recycling services in Maryland and beyond.

Planning Guide to a Successful Parking Lot Lighting Upgrade

Parking lot lighting is critical for any commercial property. Adequate outdoor lighting can prevent accidents, injuries, and the occurrence of crime. As a commercial property owner, you want guests and employees to feel safe at all times on your property.

Lights must be placed thoughtfully in order to illuminate areas that receive the least natural light and the most traffic. Accordingly, parking lot lighting should be planned ahead of time and installed by a professional local lighting service.
