What is Group Relamping?

The illumination of a commercial building is imperative to keep production rolling and to promote a safe environment for both employees and customers. A light bulb burning out can cause a number of distractions, and even a dangerous space inside or outside of your business. Group relamping can help to prevent an untimely burn out of a light bulb. Your trusted commercial electricians in Mid-MO are here to help clarify about group relamping, and the benefits of such maintenance. The professionals at Advanced Lighting Service have provided further information below about group relamping.


Group Relamping:


A regular maintenance check and bulb replacement schedule, known as group relamping, offers a number of benefits to your business. An experienced lighting company in Missouri can come into your commercial space and quickly change out your lights. Let an experienced professional replace your lights on a regular schedule to maximize efficiency and save money for your business.

The Benefits:


A major benefit of group relamping is the fact that it saves money over time. Not only does replacing lamps before they burn out maximize energy efficiency, it can also save from slowed or halted production if a lamp is no longer illuminated. A professional with the proper equipment and knowledge of lighting systems can quickly relamp your entire facility, which would take you or your employees much longer to accomplish. When a business invests in the maintenance of their lighting system, less distractions are presented for employees. Keep your workers on tasks instead of worrying about a burnt out light, or taking time away to replace a bulb during work hours. A lamp that is no longer illuminated creates a distracting environment for both employees and customers. Many times an employee cannot see accurately if a burn out does occur, causing production to slow or even come to a stop. A customer can be deterred from spending time or shopping in a certain area of your business, if a light is burnt out. A safer environment is created when all lights in your system are functioning properly. Help your business remain safe by investing in a group relamping schedule for your employees and customers.

Advanced Lighting Service offers a regular group relamping service in which we check your bulbs and replace them before a burn out occurs.

Benefits and Uses of Our Bucket Truck Service

Throughout the state of Missouri, there are a number of businesses that could benefit from the use of a bucket truck, at one point or another. Whether your business is installing exterior signage on your commercial building, or replacing a faulty parking lot light bulb, the ability to safely reach high up in the air is helpful. The professional team of commercial electricians in Mid-MO can help you and your business check a number of tasks off of your to do list. Our team is equipped with six bucket and man lift trucks for a number of services that Advanced Lighting Service offers our customers. 

BENEFIT


Cost Savings- Many times utilizing our bucket truck service is cheaper than renting a lift or similar vehicle for a business owner or manager. When renting from a company for your own use, you have to rent for multiple hours, or even an entire day at a time, which can add to the rental price. 

Time Efficient- It usually saves quite a bit of time for a company to hire us for their bucket truck needs. You will not have to take the time to go rent a lift truck. If you utilize a professional for your hard to reach projects, it can help keep your employees on task, therefore saving them time. 

Added Safety- The use of a bucket or lift truck is much safer than having yourself or an employee climb a ladder up in the air. Help keep your workplace a safe environment by hiring Advanced Lighting Service for your hard to safely reach tasks. 

OUR SERVICES


Exterior Lighting Installation- If your business is in need of exterior lighting, we can safely wire and install them with our bucket or lift trucks. A professional should always help with your wiring and lighting services, to ensure your commercial building is up to code. 

Signs- An exterior business sign can help draw potential customers to your location, and bring awareness to your business or brand. We offer sign installation and repair services. Whether the sign is on your building or on a pole in the parking lot, a bucket truck makes it much easier and safer to work on installing and repairing a sign up in the air. 

Lighting Repair- If your exterior lights have a malfunction, a bucket truck is often needed to easily repair the light. A lift can help safely bring our technicians up to light level to investigate the issue and fix the light that is not working at your business location. 

OTHER SERVICES


A number of contractors use Advanced Lighting Service’s bucket trucks and man lifts to perform tasks they are contracted to do. We have provided a few examples of other services that can be performed with our lift vehicles.

Paint Building- It can be dangerous to climb a ladder to paint the exterior of a building. A solid platform can help make the job go quicker, and much safer. A painter can perform a better quality job if their feet are stabilized. 

Clean Window- Windows, like painting, can present a dangerous situation up in the air. Keep your feet on a stable surface through the use of one of our bucket trucks or man lifts. 

High Installation- A number of installations take place high up in the air in homes or businesses. Contractors are often hired to hang Christmas lights on a high peak or work on the exterior of a building up high. Complete these tasks that need to be performed up in the air safely with the use of our lift services. 

There are a number of tasks that should be performed from the safety of a bucket truck, versus a tall ladder. Help to keep your employees and yourself safe by utilizing the services offered by the best commercial lighting company in Mid-MO. We know that you are busy with the everyday tasks that your business must accomplish, let Advanced Lighting Service help out with any of your hard to reach exterior projects. Our bucket trucks are stocked with a wide variety of bulb and ballasts, ready to help take on your next lighting install or repair. If you are in need of an exterior sign repair, window cleaning, or a number of other services, contact us at (573) 746-7997.

Benefits of LED Emergency and Exit Lighting For Your Business

An important safety feature in many businesses is emergency and exit lighting. Aside from being required in many commercial buildings to pass building code, emergency lights can help promote a safe environment for your employees and customers. Your trusted commercial electricians in Mid-MO can help update or install LED lights in your business’s emergency system. Advanced Lighting Service has provided some of the benefits LED lighting can offer your business when it comes to emergency and exit lights.


What is Emergency Lighting?


An emergency light system will help illuminate your commercial building if it should lose power. If a business has issues with power causing the lights go out, it can be dangerous for customers and employees to navigate their way around the space. Whether there is a storm or issues with the electric supply, back up emergency lights are important in keeping your business occupants safe.

Longevity


LED lights last much longer than alternative light bulb sources. They do not rely on the filament to burn in order to generate light, which can help them last as long as 50,000 hours more than an alternative light source. As technology continues to progress, LED lights are being used more and more in emergency lighting systems.

Efficiency


The heat put off from a traditional light is a sign of inefficiency. Most of the energy is being put into heat instead of illumination. LED lights operate in a similar method, but they are thinner and lighter which makes them more efficient. For a more energy efficient emergency light system, consider transitioning to a LED light source.

Illumination


Brightness is important when it comes to an emergency light, especially if that is the only light source your business will have if the power goes out. LED is a much brighter light source for optimal viewing of a dark building. To help your customers and staff navigate and exit your building successfully, consider using LED lights in your emergency system for best illumination.

Maintenance of Your Emergency System


Regularly checking your emergency lights is important for the safety of those inside your commercial building. As a business, you will want to ensure the lights will not fail, if the power does go out to your building. When it pertains to safety, emergency lights and exit lights are an imperative piece of your business plan.

If you are interested in improving the safety inside your commercial building, consider updating your emergency and exit lighting system to LED lights. The professional commercial electricians in Mid-MO can help you evaluate what is best for your business, when it comes to emergency lights. Advanced Lighting Service can assist your business in making updates to your current emergency system. Contact us at (573) 746-7997 for a free quote for lighting maintenance and service in Missouri.

7 Ways To Save On Your Commercial Electric Bill

Electricity is a major expense for many business owners in the area. Owners and managers look for ways to reduce the amount of money spent on electricity each month. Advanced Lighting Service offers an energy efficiency program, to help you evaluate where upgrades can be made. Over time, this can save your business a dramatic amount of money. If you are on the search for ways to cut back on your electric bill as a company, the best commercial electricians in Mid-MO are here to help with some energy efficiency tips.

1. Turn Off Lights


Many people remember to turn off lights in an unused room at home, but once at work, this habit can slip his or her mind. Remind all employees to turn off the light as they exit a vacant room.  When leaving your business for the night, ensure all lights that need to be, are shut off.

2. Utilize Hibernate Features on Equipment


Many computers, printers, and fax machines have a hibernate feature. This will help to prevent an used machine from pulling additional electricity when it is not in use. Especially in the evenings, all unused equipment and electronics should be put into hibernate mode, or turned off.

3. Adjust Lighting During Day


If you have natural light available, your interior lighting does not need to be as bright. You can turn down the level of illumination inside your building, if you have a window that will allow sunlight to enter the building.

4. Put Lights on a Timer


If you have lights that are not needed after hours, consider investing in a light timer to ensure they are turned off at a certain time each day. This can help reduce unneeded lights pulling electricity, if someone forgets to turn them off as they exit the building.

5. Convert to LED


On average, a business saves 50% to 70% on their electric bill by switching to LED light bulbs. This is an easy way to save money, without losing any of the illuminated area you are used to.

6. Upgrade Outdated Equipment


Outdated machines and building systems can utilize a large amount of energy, if they are working hard to keep up. Consider adding energy efficient equipment when it is time to upgrade. Tax breaks are also available if a business purchases energy efficient machines or appliances.

7. Have an Energy Audit Performed


Advanced Lighting Service has partnered with Ameren Missouri to offer a commercial incentive for energy efficient upgrades. You can receive a rebate or a discount on your electric bill from Ameren for participating in the program.

If you own or manage a business, finding ways to cut cost is of high importance to your business. The commercial electricians in Mid-MO can help you save money on your monthly electric bill. We can come out to perform an energy audit for ways to optimize your savings. For all of your commercial lighting needs, contact Advanced Lighting Service. To schedule your energy efficiency audit, call us at (573) 746-7997.
