Professional Outdoor Lighting Installation, Retrofits, and Maintenance
High Voltage Services LLC provides expert installation, retrofitting, and maintenance of parking lot and exterior lighting systems for commercial, industrial, and multi-unit properties.

We install high-efficiency LED lighting systems designed for longevity, code compliance, and reduced energy consumption — all tailored to your specific site layout and operational needs.
Why Parking Lot and Exterior Lighting Matters
Proper outdoor lighting is essential for both safety and functionality. Whether it’s a shopping plaza, apartment complex, warehouse, or office building, professionally installed exterior lighting delivers:
Enhanced Safety & Security: Well-lit areas deter theft, vandalism, and accidents. Light coverage improves visibility for pedestrians and drivers alike.
Improved Property Appearance: Architectural uplighting, pathway lights, and bright parking lots enhance your property’s professional image and help attract tenants or customers.
Code Compliance: Building codes and safety standards often require specific lighting levels, coverage patterns, and dusk-to-dawn operation for commercial lots and walkways.
Energy Efficiency: LED retrofits cut energy use by up to 70%, reduce maintenance costs, and often qualify for utility rebates.

Common Questions
How tall should parking lot poles be?
Standard heights range from 15 to 30 feet. The right height depends on your lot size, fixture type, and brightness goals.
Can you replace just the bulb, or should I retrofit the whole fixture?
Retrofits are more energy-efficient long-term. We offer both solutions, but complete LED fixture upgrades provide better ROI, reduced maintenance, and improved light quality.
How do I know if my lighting meets code?
We conduct lighting audits to check brightness levels, fixture condition, and control functionality — then recommend upgrades if needed.
What are typical issues with parking lot lights?
Common problems include:
- Burnt-out bulbs
- Failed ballasts or drivers
- Tripped breakers
- Faulty photocells or timers
- Water-damaged wiring
We diagnose and fix all of the above, fast.
