Outdoor Lighting Maintenance: Ensure Your Summer Evenings Shine Bright

As the warmth of summer invites us outdoors, it’s a good time to ensure your system is in top shape. At NiteLites Outdoor Lighting, we understand the importance of outdoor lighting maintenance. Once you enroll in our preventative maintenance plan, we will visit your property either quarterly or semi-annually to thoroughly test and polish your lights. Below is a list of things that we complete during these check-ups:

1. Inspect All Lighting Fixtures

Why It’s Important: Regular inspection helps identify any damage or wear that could affect the performance of your lighting system.

What WE Do:

• Check for cracks or any signs of physical damage.
• Make sure fixtures are securely mounted and positioned correctly.

2. Clean the Fixtures

Why It’s Important: Dirt and debris can accumulate on lighting fixtures, reducing their brightness and effectiveness.

What WE Do:

• Clean the exterior of the fixtures.
• Ensure the interior is thoroughly cleaned to allow maximum light output.

• Tighten connections and replace any corroded components.

4. Test Timer(s)

Why It’s Important: Timers for your lights should operate efficiently and as scheduled.

5. Trim Nearby Foliage

Why It’s Important: Overgrown plants can obstruct light paths and damage fixtures.
