The National Safety Council reports that countless accidents happen every year in parking lots. If the lighting is bad, people can easily fall, slip, or get seriously injured. Those driving around the parking lot may not be able to see clearly and may collide with other vehicles or crash into objects. You may not know it, but if someone gets injured on your premises, you may be held legally responsible. Many businesses have been sued simply because people got injured due to insufficient lighting.
As people drive in your parking lot, they should be able to see other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles. The better drivers and pedestrians can see, the lower the chances of accidents. Good lighting improves visibility, helping drivers and pedestrians to avoid situations that may lead to accidents. And if your business is open at night, the lights will also make sure your customers do not get lost.
Good lighting also acts as a deterrent to crime. For example, if a criminal scope out a commercial property with the intention of breaking in or vandalizing, the truth is that they will not carry out their plan if the building is well illuminated both indoors and outdoors. Darkness and crime go hand in hand and criminals usually carry out their criminal activities in poorly lit areas because they stay hidden.
If your clients, employees, business partners, and visitors cannot detect any movement in the parking lot because it is poorly illuminated, they may easily get mugged or assaulted. Criminals may also break into their cars and steal. And even worse, the security personnel may not be able to see the happenings in the parking lot as surveillance cameras will not be able to capture the footage clearly.
High-quality LED parking lot lights can make your parking lot safe for your clients, employees, and business associates, reducing your legal exposure. What’s more, when you install quality parking lot lights, you indirectly tell everyone who visits your business premises, institution, or organization, that they are always welcome no matter the time of day.
