Bright Idea For Many Gated Naples Communities

Many gated communities throughout Naples and Southwest Florida are taking advantage of new LED lighting technologies, coupled with Florida Power & light (FPL) incentives to brighten their communities.

New, efficient, LED street lights are being installed which are brighter, more efficient, silent, and replacing old street lighting. They also cost less to install and use, and last longer. Older street lights (even only a couple years old) are less efficient, don’t spread light as well, cost more to install and use, and do not last as long.

When you are looking at Naples Homes For Sale, We always recommend, once you decide on a neighborhood (or a couple) that you check it out on the weekends and evenings. Go to the closest store, gas station, etc. And we always recommend (and often accompany) that you walk your pets through the different neighborhoods at different type of day and night to get a good feel for the area. One thing we would run into once in a while is that the neighborhood lighting was not optimal, ands this is something that you usually cannot do anything about prior to purchasing a home.

These LED street lights were recently installed in the neighborhood where we maintain our primary residence, and they are great! They are much brighter, with a better light tone, and I expect (hope) they will indeed last longer as it seemed our old lights were always burned out making evening dog walking challenging sometimes. These LED Lights Are Awesome!

Here is information from FPL regarding the new LED outdoor lighting Click Link Here:

LED street and area lighting are practical and inexpensive ways to bring all the advantages of LED lighting to your community.

Traditional street lights and parking lot lights can present many financial and operational challenges for HOAs and condos. Not only do they need to complement the neighborhood, but they require 24/7 maintenance services to ensure a continuous sense of safety and security.

Florida Power & Light (FPL) recently announced a new program to help cities, towns and community associations transition to LED street lights, regardless of whether the lights are owned by FPL or the local government or association.  The fees related to the transition can be incorporated into your light bill via a “tariff” that effectively finances the conversion process.

LED lighting can be used in roadways, streets, and as area lighting.

Benefits of LED:

• Energy Efficient and Cost Effective – Reduced carbon footprint and lower energy bills. Energy savings average between 25% – 50%.

• Longer Service Life – LED lights can last up to 10 times longer than traditional lights.

• Better Light Distribution – Less light wasted equals less light needed.

• High Quality Color Rendition – Color, lines and objects are easier to distinguish; improves visibility and safety. Improved visibility for pedestrians and traffic.

• More Dependable Fixtures – Fewer outages and lower maintenance costs.
