However, it\u2019s also important for building owners and managers to be aware of certain outdoor areas within this realm, particularly outdoor lighting needs and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Orange Electric, our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/orangeelectric.com\/commercial-electrician\/\"><strong>commercial electrician services<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0include a comprehensive range of both indoor and outdoor solutions, with lighting a key theme for numerous clients. One particular type of lighting we regularly assist commercial clients with, and which is valuable for several purposes: Parking lot lighting. Quality lighting in your building\u2019s lot protects you from a few major risks, each of which we\u2019ll go over in this primer on why this form of lighting is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vehicle Accidents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several potential causes of vehicle collisions or related accidents, and poor visibility is definitely among them. Research has shown that crashes, from minor fender-benders to much more significant collisions, are more likely to happen at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/orangeelectric.com\/blog\/commercial-electrical-sustainability-natural-light-metering\/\"><strong>night in parking<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;lots that do not have adequate lighting than those that do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re a building owner or operator, a theme arises here that we\u2019ll go over regularly within this article: Liability. Even if your vehicle itself isn\u2019t involved whatsoever in an accident that takes place on your lot due to poor lighting, there\u2019s a chance your business could be sued and held liable for damages or injuries sustained during these incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crime Risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another behavior that\u2019s much more common in the dark: Crime of various types. Criminals don\u2019t want to be seen or identified easily, whether they\u2019re considering burglarizing vehicles, attempting to rob people leaving the building, or even trying to vandalize or burglarize the building itself. There is a mixture of both personal damage risks and liability concerns at play for building owners here, especially if it can be shown later on that there was no\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/orangeelectric.com\/blog\/variables-to-consider-for-utah-commercial-lighting-setup\/\"><strong>adequate lighting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in the parking lot to help identify the culprits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hazards and Injury<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another risk of a darker parking lot, especially during the Utah winter, is injury and resulting liability. If someone slips and falls on some ice when leaving the office because parking lot lights are out and they can\u2019t see properly, business or building owners could be sued for liability. In addition, having a well-lit property will simply make you look better to prospective clients, while the flip side will look bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Assistance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you concerned about your commercial building\u2019s parking lot lighting? Speak to our commercial electricians, who are happy to help with these and numerous related themes at your convenience.
