Electrical Tip of the Day – Fall outdoor light fixture maintenance
Its that time of year again and (gasp) bad weather will be upon us soon. This weeks tip is a simple one… it will save you a bundle to deal with outdoor light fixture repairs before the snow flies and things freeze… in some case, like in ground landscape lighting, if a problem occurs after it has hard frozen for the winter we have little choice but to put the repair work off until spring thaw
In other areas, like commercial parking lot lights, wall packs, those pesky motion detector sensor lights – getting fresh lamps in and checking out the systems before winter is money well spent. Things break when it gets cold, and planning for bucket truck / large ladder use during those bad winter months will always cost more then doing the same work during favorable weather.
And of course – PLANNED maintenance is always more cost effective then emergency or unplanned repair work!
