High-Quality Auto Dealership Lighting Can Be Yours

CBMC Lighting Solutions is an industry leader in lighting for automotive dealerships. We have worked with hundreds of owners to achieve the highest quality light levels. Automotive dealerships demand intense lighting levels in the early evening and nighttime hours inside and outside the building in order to maximize car appearance.

Intense, focused light makes a new car shine, attracting customers who want to give it a whirl and take it home. But the unique lighting requirements of an automotive dealership don’t end in the showroom.

The lot, for example, also has unique street light requirements. It may contain a lot of cars, but it’s anything but a parking lot. In fact, it’s an extension of your showroom. It can draw the eye and lead a potential customer to your door, or attract no attention whatsoever. If your lot doesn’t look good there’s a chance the customers won’t even stop – and there goes your sales.

Your office’s lighting should also reflect the same feeling of quality, as should your service bays. Clean, well-lit service bays tell the customer that you take pride in your business and in your products.

Auto dealers know that maintaining an enhanced appearance of the showroom, lot, automobiles, office and service bays increase sales and profits.

The importance of energy efficiency continues to grow. It’s important to conform to rules, regulations and guidelines in order to save energy, protect the environment and keep costs down.

Energy efficiency is especially vital in auto dealerships. The prolonged and intense street light at night, necessary for sales and security, as well as showcase lighting during the day, adds expense that many retailers don’t encounter. Dark sky guidelines also add a unique complexity for the auto dealership.

By utilizing the most advanced lighting technologies – including the appropriate lamps and fixtures, lighting controls and the effective use of lighting colors – auto dealership owners can enhance the appearance of a new vehicle while reducing light levels and energy usage, thereby saving hundreds of dollars a day. Picking the right lighting color also enhances the appearance of a new automobile by showing the right color of each car.
