Our team working on gas lantern retrofit to LED in Hyde Park, Tampa, FL.
A home owner’s association( HOA) has a responsibility to promote safety and bring a sense of warmth to a community. HOAs often turn to decorative outdoor lighting to bring that ambiance and comfort to a neighborhood, which also adds a lot of beauty and value to the homes within. However, many communities rely on gas-powered lanterns to illuminate their neighborhood with the promise of cheap and efficient energy. The problem is that these lanterns, as beautiful as they are, are minimally-functional at best, and generally serve aesthetic purposes only, burning gas twenty-four hours a day. Undeniably, those costs will add up.
The question then becomes: How is it possible to maintain gorgeous outdoor lighting while saving on costs? Here at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater and Tampa Bay we are solution seekers and are always keeping the best interests of our clients at the forefront!
Hyde Park, an upscale residential community here in Tampa, has been spending upward of $6,000 dollars annually in gas-powered outdoor lighting. We get the feeling that fellow Floridians aren’t exactly huddling around these lanterns to warm frostbitten digits on tropical Gulf Coast nights. So, we helped the residents and members of the HOA find a more economical way to light their graceful tree-lined streets.
In order to fulfill Hyde Park’s lighting needs and cut down on cost, we are working diligently to retro fit all 24 of the community’s gas lantern posts with LED lighting. These new lights will only cost Hyde park a mere $150 annually in operational costs. That’s a BIG savings within their annual expenses! This creates room in their budget that could go toward other projects to further develop and beautify their community. In addition, LED lighting has a lifetime of about 50,000 hours. If a lantern glows from dusk to dawn every day, these new LED lanterns will last an amazing 12.5 years. The new lights are bright and crisp, and will bring a higher quality illumination to the community than those of the costly and inefficient gas-powered lanterns. Because of the longevity of LED, Hyde Park residents can expect to enjoy the lanterns, maintenance-free, for many years to come.
New advancements in LED technology have allowed these small lights to perform, generating a strong, bright, and efficient glow. At Outdoor Perspectives of Clearwater and Tampa Bay, we make use of bulbs that last longer than our competitors thanks to patent-pending technology that reduces the heat of the LED light source and, therefore, extends the life of our replaceable bulbs.
We believe that a well-lit landscape and community will offer a tremendous amount of value to your home, not just monetarily, but practicality as well. Our LED bulbs save on energy and help reduce the impact of each homeowner’s carbon footprint. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives makes it our priority to find solutions that work specifically for you. We pride ourselves on our ability to work with homeowners, property managers and HOAs to come up with the best solutions for anyone’s outdoor lighting needs!
