Our Outdoor Post Lamps: Cost and Appearance
If you are creating a municipal vision, you know that your responsibility to the taxpayer includes attention to cost—initial cost, replacement cost, and maintenance cost. Today, there are also concerns about the actual cost of illuminating your outdoor light fixtures and light pollution.
The amount may vary depending on the neighborhood. But most would like to light up the streets enough to make them safe to walk after dark. However, the cost of the investment can’t drain everyone’s purses. So, you’ll want to find a reasonable compromise between safety and the cost of keeping the lights on.
That’s why you want to work with Mel Northey Co. Inc. We provide beautiful, vintage LED outdoor post lamps that can efficiently light up your streets. Despite the heftier initial cost, LEDs burn less money in the long run compared to other lighting alternatives. Not to mention, you can direct the direction of LEDs so they can reduce the amount of light that diffuses in the sky, minimizing light pollution in the area.
Of course, not only do we use LEDs, but our lampposts are also constructed to be sturdy. Most of our outdoor lampposts are made out of cast aluminum (some also come in steel). Each one is powder-coated with anti-rust properties so that they last longer standing in the elements. By using our state-of-the-art finishes, our outdoor post lamps will remain beautiful for years without the need for constant maintenance.
Mel Northey Co. Inc. has outdoor post lamps that you can buy in our catalog. Call today to place your order.
Best of all, our outdoor post lamps are made with a classically beautiful design. They will be as aesthetically pleasing to new generations as they are today. These fixtures will never go out of style. We offer a variety of tasteful replacement globes to complete the look of your outdoor post lamps, giving them a timeless appearance.
Lights: Providing Safety in the Dark
People cannot inherently see in the dark. Some may have better vision in dim lighting, but complete darkness is a nightmare for everyone. Then came streetlights, which made it easier and safer for everyone to traverse the streets after the sun went down.
Firstly, streetlights illuminate the road in the dark, allowing everyone to see where they’re going. This reduces the number of traffic accidents in the area and allows pedestrians to traverse sidewalks and parks without running into any potential hazards.
Proper outdoor lighting can also prevent criminal activity. Most criminals don’t prefer to do business on a lit road because everyone in the area can see them. This reduces crime and promotes safety in the neighborhood.
Let’s Reduce Light Pollution Together with the Dark Sky Initiative
Light pollution is a prevalent problem, especially in city and town centers. The more lights there are in an area, the more likely those lights will blot out the view of the night sky. Since 2008, Mel Northey Co. Inc. has been advocating lights that follow the Dark Sky initiative, which is a plan to reduce the amount of light diffusion in urban areas. With this initiative, our lights can better serve the community while keeping the natural area intact after dark.
We offer a full line of Dark Sky lights, replacement globes, and retrofit kits to upgrade your lighting. In cooperation with the Dark Sky initiative, we provide outdoor post lamps and lighting fixtures that direct the maximum light downward and eliminate the wasteful “up-light” that detracts from the skies over the nation.
This technology keeps electrical use to a minimum as it maximizes the light from each fixture. This is by directing the light to where it needs to be. This works to keep your city’s carbon footprint smaller and will ensure that you are doing your part to combat global warming. As a bonus, using Dark Sky technology will also help preserve the health of the nocturnal animals that call the US home.
