Time Change Spotlights Good Opportunity to Consider Entergy Security Lighting

10/27/2015

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Arkansas residents will be joining most of the country by setting their clocks back one hour on Nov. 2, marking the end of daylight saving time. With daylight growing shorter, now is a good time to consider outdoor security lighting, an economical and effective crime-prevention tool.

“Properly lighting your home or business takes the cover of darkness away from potential lawbreakers, enhances natural surveillance, delineates private and public spaces and can help increase safety,” said Brady Aldy, vice president of customer service for Entergy Arkansas, Inc.

Entergy Arkansas offers lighting options that are cost-effective and hassle-free. “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 Aldy.

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 the customer.
