Top Ten Reasons to Choose
Outdoor Lighting & Energy

Our trucks are stocked daily

Fully stocked trucks save you time and money.

More for Your Money
Competitors who quote lower labor rates will end up costing you more. Our set up time is less because we own bucket trucks to reach 90 feet. Trucks are stocked with everything we need for the job. If it’s not on the truck, you don’t pay for the trip to the supply house. Our invoices are itemized with time and material used. Don’t be swayed by lower labor quotes. We’ll honestly tell you what the work will cost. You won’t be surprised with add-on charges later.
Professional Service
Don’t let anybody tell you this work doesn’t require an electrical license. Service providers must hold an electrical license in the states where they perform work. Outdoor Lighting & Energy is a licensed Electrical Contractor (Unlimited License) in both NC and SC. Cliff Parks, CEO, is a registered electrical engineer (PE), licensed to practice in both NC and SC. We’re experts in energy efficiency. We’ll help you sort through LED, Induction, Fluorescent and HID options. You can come to us for design, control, construction, operation and maintenance of all lighting systems. No job is too big or too small.
Trouble-Shooting Expertise
This business isn’t as simple as changing a light bulb in a desk lamp. We offer emergency lighting and signage service. Our trained technicians can find the source of lighting system failures. Problems that, quite frankly, stump our competitors. We will fix your lighting problem, not put a band-aid over it. Outdoor Lighting & Energy figures out what’s wrong and makes it right.
Professional Appearance
The subcontractors you hire are a reflection of your business to your customers and tenants. Outdoor Lighting & Energy technicians are required to wear uniforms and present a professional appearance on your property. Our trucks are clearly marked for easy identification. Penske Trucking provides regularly scheduled fleet maintenance.
Safety and Security
Background checks, reference checks and pre-employment screenings are mandatory at Outdoor Lighting & Energy. Outdoor Lighting & Energy enforces a strict zero tolerance Controlled Substance & Alcohol Policy. Our technicians are subject to regular random CS&A screening that is documented. Our technicians are required to hold a valid Commercial Driver’s License. Our technicians receive regular safety training and adhere to all OSHA requirements. Tailgate safety meetings and on site safety checks are standard practice at Outdoor Lighting & Energy.
Self Performance
We’re not "order-takers" representing ourselves as service providers. At Outdoor Lighting & Energy, we do the work. We don’t send somebody we found on Craig’s List to do the work. We stand behind our work and will do what it takes to keep our clients happy.
Top Quality Material
Cheap lamps just mean more service trips. No-name knock off lamps and ballasts cost you more in the long run because they don’t last. We know because we replace the knock offs way more often than any GE or Philips product we install. We test new brands and products ourselves before we recommend them to our clients. 12 Month Warranty on HID Lamps & Ballasts is standard service with Outdoor Lighting & Energy.
Expansive Service Territory
Outdoor Lighting & Energy has you covered. If you own or manage commercial property anywhere in NC & SC, we can take care of your parking lot lighting maintenance, your sign lighting and your interior lighting. Service includes lighting repairs, retrofits and energy efficient upgrades. If you own or manage property outside the Carolinas, you can call on us to cover that, too (888.596.0030). With the PLASMA network (www.plasmalighting.org), you can be assured of high quality service and consistent pricing nationwide.
Energy Star Expertise
An incandescent lamp is a better heater than a light. The most efficient light is the light not used. There are many control technologies and lamp improvements on the market today. Outdoor Lighting & Energy offers lighting audits and can help you find the right energy-efficient upgrades for your property. T8 and T5 Fluorescent conversions are a great way to save energy and improve your light levels at the same time. We’ll be happy to explain how (888.596.0030).
Certified Recycling Program
It’s the right thing to do. And, it’s the law. You keep hazardous waste out of the landfill when you hire Outdoor Lighting & Energy for lighting repairs, retrofits and installation. Every bit of metal, mercury and glass from a lighting repair or relamp job is recycled through our documented recycling program. At Outdoor Lighting & Energy, we recycle everything that comes in the door or that we haul on a truck that can be recycled.
