Time Change Spotlights Good Opportunity to Consider Security Lighting
10/28/2015
Folks around the Bayou State will be joining most of the country by setting their clocks back one hour on Sunday, Nov. 1, marking the end of daylight saving time. With days growing shorter, now is a good time to consider outdoor security lighting, an economical and effective crime-prevention tool.
Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana can help customers light up their homes and businesses and increase safety and security with private-area lighting options that are cost-effective and hassle-free.
"Properly lighting your home or business takes the cover of darkness away from lawbreakers and is an important step in crime-prevention efforts," said Pat Waters, director of sales growth and services for Entergy’s lighting business.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, security lighting is the single most effective crime deterrent. It enhances natural surveillance, delineates private and public spaces, can help direct access and increases safety.
"Many of our security lighting customers tell us that, along with feeling safer, they appreciate the easy installation process and the worry-free maintenance that comes with our service," said Kevin Bart, Entergy lighting sales representative.
Customers can place an order by calling 1-866-603-0192 or via a secure link at entergy.com/securitylighting. An Entergy representative will contact them quickly, and a lighting expert will assist them in determining the product that best suits their needs.
Security lights are available in a variety of sizes, styles, wattages and lamp styles for home and business use. Customers are charged a set monthly fee for the lights, with the cost conveniently added to existing bills. The charges vary depending upon the light’s wattage. Whether the light is installed on an existing pole, or a new pole is needed for the lighting, Entergy will work with customers to determine the most cost-effective option. In some areas, installation is free. In addition, there is no fee for regular maintenance, which includes bulb replacement. If a storm -- like a hurricane or tornado -- destroys the light and pole, they will be replaced at no cost to customers.
