Gain more curb appeal with LED
Auto Dealerships are gaining more curb appeal with LED lighting. Whether it’s the first row of cars, the showroom or the service bays—the entire dealership needs to have high-quality lighting to set it apart from competitors. Exterior lighting not only affect how the cars look, but also gives an outward impression of your business.
LED lighting has become increasingly popular at auto dealerships as hardware costs fall and the technology matures.
Much of the LED savings comes from lower power usage. But lighting maintenance is also far simpler because LED units last longer than incandescent bulbs. Expected replacement is measured in tens of thousands of hours instead of thousands of hours.
And because LEDs can be focused exactly on the location where the light is needed -- without the dim spots between lamp poles common to standard metal-halide, high-intensity lights -- that allows a retailer to showcase their inventory in the best possible light. Once dealers are reassured that the light from LEDs will make their cars look good, they look at the numbers -- and find a compelling case.
