With summer behind us and the days getting shorter and shorter, outdoor lighting is becoming more important than ever. It’s possible that you already have lights installed around your business, but perhaps they could be brighter, or maybe they don’t work at all. That’s when you need a commercial lighting repair. Problems with lighting can come up with little, if any, warning. But fortunately, there are ways you can tell that a repair is in order. Look at these common reasons for why you may need a commercial lighting repair.
Lighting Timer
You might notice that your lights aren’t turning on when you expect them to turn on. If your lights don’t turn on until well after dark, there’s likely something wrong with your lighting timer. A lighting timer set to turn lights on at dusk during the summer may need to be readjusted for the fall.
If you have any trouble getting your timer working, you could benefit from calling a commercial lighting repair service. Even if your timer isn’t broken, professionals can still help you with the installation process.
No Power
Like many features powered by electricity, your outdoor lights can get unplugged, or they could have faulty connections. If your lights don’t turn on, check all of your connections first. Be especially careful when you check your connections and wires because your lights get exposed to many elements throughout the year. If you don’t feel comfortable checking everything on your own, you can contact commercial lighting repair services that can perform all of the maintenance checks you need.
Damaged Components
Damaged components can cause your lights to malfunction as well. This is because your lights are exposed to various weather conditions, heat, moisture, and insects, among other things. These can result in electrical shorts, corrosion, and stripped wiring, all of which can stop your outdoor lights from functioning correctly.
If you suspect that your lights are malfunctioning, your best bet is to contact professional commercial lighting repair services. Damaged electrical features are incredibly dangerous and shouldn’t be handled alone. You could get injured if you try to repair your lights on your own. Leave the job to experts who have the training and experience to get the job done safely and efficiently.
