As October rolls in, the days grow shorter, and darkness creeps in earlier. But that doesn’t mean your space has to. Whether you’re managing a commercial facility or making your home cozy for the cooler months, now is the perfect time to evaluate your lighting and ensure you’re not left in the dark. At State Electric, we offer a range of lighting solutions designed to brighten any space, indoors and out, while maximizing efficiency and longevity.
Say Goodbye to Inefficient Lighting
In commercial and industrial environments, older lighting systems such as fluorescent and HID (metal halide and high-pressure sodium) fixtures are becoming obsolete. With October’s early sunsets, these systems might be leaving your facility in the dark more often than you realize. High bay lights in warehouses or factories, which are notoriously difficult to service, can cause downtime when their bulbs fail. Introducing LED technology—our answer to maintaining a well-lit and efficient business environment. LED lights minimize the need for regular upkeep while delivering brighter and more uniform lighting.
Transform Your Home with LED Lighting
Don’t let early nightfall cast a shadow over your home’s comfort and style. At State Electric, we offer a wide selection of LED lighting options perfect for every room in your house. Kitchens and bathrooms benefit from LED wraps, providing bright, even light that’s perfect for meal prep or morning routines. Utility and garage areas are ideal for LED strips, while living rooms and dining rooms can be enhanced with recessed cans and wafers, offering a sleek, modern touch to your home’s aesthetic.
LED lighting not only looks great but also helps you save on your energy bill—something we can all appreciate as we move toward the holiday season.
Stay Ahead of the Lighting Curve
At State Electric, we understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve when it comes to lighting technologies. That’s why we’re constantly in touch with our manufacturers to learn about the latest innovations.
We’re inundated with product releases and updates, but through experience, we’ve developed a keen eye for recognizing which advancements are worth your time and investment. If it’s new, energy-efficient, and poised to make a difference, you can bet it’s something we’re looking into for our customers.
Lighting for Every Space—Quantity and Quality Matter
Choosing the right lighting for your space is about more than just brightness. With legacy lighting, it was common to have too much or too little light, with no easy way to adjust it. LED lighting gives you the ability to finely tune the light to the exact level you need. Whether you’re lighting an office, a retail space, an industrial site, or your own living room, two factors remain critical: quantity and quality of light.
This October, take the opportunity to rethink how your space is lit. The color temperature of light can transform a space’s mood. Cooler white and blue tones are great for task-oriented areas like offices, while warmer tones create a more inviting and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for home settings.
Recent Projects: Lighting the Way
Our Lighting and Energy Group is always busy helping clients across all sectors, and this October is no exception. From upgrading lighting in offices and re-lighting large warehouses to enhancing outdoor spaces with nighttime renderings, we’ve been hard at work creating safer, brighter, and more energy-efficient environments.
One of our standout projects this season involves upgrading outdoor lighting for ballfields, ensuring nighttime games are safer and more enjoyable for both players and spectators. This is just one example of how our lighting solutions are making a difference.
The Cost-Effective Benefits of LED
LED lighting offers a huge advantage over traditional lighting in both energy savings and longevity. For example, a fixture that once required 400 watts can now be replaced by an LED equivalent that uses just 150 watts. If you’re running that fixture for 12 hours a day, you could be saving as much as $100 a year. With the average LED lasting up to 100,000 hours, compared to the 15,000-hour lifespan of traditional lighting, the benefits of upgrading are clear.
This October, don’t let the darkness catch up to you. Whether you’re upgrading your office, illuminating your warehouse, or creating a warm glow in your home, State Electric has the solutions you need. Let our lighting experts guide you toward a brighter, more efficient future - because no one should be left in the dark.
