SMS Building Systems introduced an LED lighting solution for automotive and pre-owned vehicle companies designed to improve exterior lighting with clear white lights throughout the parking lot and property areas. LEDs improve parking lot visibility in nighttime conditions. Moreover, retrofit LEDs reduce light pollution that can create negative impacts on surrounding residential and commercial properties, as well as animal wildlife.
Automobile dealers are challenged to create a dramatic backdrop for their dealership, while providing a powerful visual impact on the new vehicles and certified pre-owned cars/trucks/SUVs on the dealer’s lot.
SMS understands that as owners and operators of automotive dealerships work to reduce costs, save energy, and enrich property exteriors, they can benefit from LED solutions designed to enhance automobile appearance, promote vehicles to consumers and accelerate sales.
Another key element for retrofit LEDs is the unique directional positioning of the LED light-source directly to the target surface to direct clear light on the “top view” of the vehicles. This directional lighting, not present in the existing light bulbs/lamps provided by current outdoor fixtures, enhances the vehicles displayed for sale.
There are many reasons why automotive companies consider undertaking energy efficiency projects. Being “green” enhances a corporation’s image by reflecting the environmental concerns of clients, employees and the broader public. Another compelling reason to use retrofit LEDs for energy efficiently is financial. Owners and operators of automotive dealerships seek to reduce energy costs, save money and enrich property exteriors. Retrofit LEDs operate in a more efficient mode than traditional, antiquated outdoor lights. With LEDs, energy consumption is reduced by 70 percent. In addition, LED retrofit units qualify for the state and federal energy rebate incentive programs.
