Daylight savings time is the annual practice of setting the clocks back an hour for the fall and winter seasons. This means that people will be leaving for work in the morning and returning in the evening, while it’s dark outside. To keep customers safe, it’s a good idea for store owners to adjust the lighting in their business signs.

3 Tips for Adjusting Your Signage & Parking Lot Lighting

1. Change the Timer

Now that the clocks have been turned back an hour, it’s important to apply the same settings to the timer on your signs and parking lot lighting. This will ensure that the lights stay on when it’s dark outside, reducing the risk of an accident.

2. Replace Broken Lights

If you have broken bulbs in your sign, this makes your business look unprofessional and leaves a bad impression with customers. When a few bulbs are burnt out, the other bulbs will likely soon follow, so it’s best to replace the entire set all at one time.  

3. Install a New System

If you have an outdated lighting system, you can save money and energy by switching over to LED lighting. This can also reduce the need for maintenance as LED lights have a significantly longer life span than traditional HPS lamps. While HDS lamps only illuminate a particular spot, LED bulbs distribute more light over a wider field.
