Outdoor Industrial & Commercial Lighting
Outdoor Lighting Solutions to Transform Your Business
For any business, first impressions matter. Strategic lighting helps highlight architectural and landscape features to make your facility feel more inviting. Quality lighting around the exterior of your building also enhances nighttime visibility, making the surrounding area easier to navigate.
Durable, Tough,
& Built to Last
Exterior lights must withstand exposure to rain, snow, wind, dust, and other elements. Fixtures sold by ICL are designed for reliability in harsh outdoor conditions. We offer industry-leading warranties for peace of mind.
LEDs: A Smarter Alternative to HIDs
Outdoor LED fixtures offer significant benefits over HID and metal halide lights. LED fixtures often last up to 50,000 hours or more, increasingly longer than the short lifespans of HID and metal halide lamps. An extended lifespan means fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs over time. This is especially important for fixtures in hard-to-reach areas or mounted high on poles, as it reduces the strain on repair specialists.
Additionally, LEDs consume significantly less energy, often having up to 90% efficiency. Businesses and facilities that must keep their lights on for extended periods of time greatly benefit from these substantial energy savings and reductions in overall operating costs.
Enhancing Security with Bright Outdoor Lighting
Selecting the Best Light for Increased Security
Effective outdoor lighting has a massive impact on security. Bright security lighting can deter potential intruders and break-ins while providing sufficient illumination for security cameras. Most light fixtures intended for security purposes should emit cool white light, as this light can appear brighter and elicit an alert response from patrons.
Outdoor Lighting for Safety, Accessibility, and Usability
Anyone visiting your facility after dark must have enough visibility to safely navigate the parking lot, pathways, docks, and entrances and exits. Curbs, uneven pavement, and unmarked ramps are all obstacles that can be avoided with strong, consistent outdoor lighting. You should strategically place and position enough light fixtures around your building perimeter to ensure every area is sufficiently lit.
Ensure Your Lights Stay On From Dusk to Dawn
Dusk-to-dawn photocells ensure that lighting is only turned on when needed, cutting back on unnecessary energy usage and costs. Photocells adapt to changes in sunset and sunrise times to reduce the need for manual control or pre-set timers. This saves energy and labor costs year-round and allows your facility to run efficiently around the clock. Dusk-to-dawn photocells are commonly added to parking lot fixtures, wall packs, flood lights, and street lights.
Lighting Upgrades vs. Retrofits
If you’re looking to upgrade the lights in your facility to LEDs, you have two main options: LED retrofits or fully upgrading your facility.
Outfit HID or Fluorescent Fixtures with LEDs
Save on installation and fixture costs by choosing retrofit LEDs. In a retrofit installation, parts of the existing fixture are kept and new compatible components are added. Therefore, you can reap the benefits of lower maintenance costs and higher energy savings without completely replacing the existing fixture. HID replacement bulbs are the most popular outdoor retrofit option for existing exterior parking lot lights and canopy lights.
Full Fixture Replacement
For the highest level of efficiency and most optimized light emission, fully replacing your existing light fixtures is the smartest choice. Without the need to replace bulbs and tube lights down the road, fully upgrading your facility results in minimal maintenance over time. Many commercial and retail spaces opt for LED wall packs, canopy lights, bollards, and flood lights to fully upgrade their facility lighting.
Field Selectable CCT and Power Output
A field-selectable LED fixture allows the user to easily select a certain CCT or wattage during installation. These fixtures are beneficial as they allow users to visualize what color temperature and brightness will work best for their application. If an existing outdoor light fixture needs to be replaced, field-selectable lights can easily be adjusted to match the light output of any other existing fixtures.
Before the fixture is fully installed, move the switch located on the fixture to the desired setting. Although it is recommended that you select the preferred setting at installation, you can always change it later if your lighting design changes.

Popular Products for Outdoor LED Lighting
Parking Lot Lights
Parking lot lights, street lights, and post-top lights are some of our most popular exterior lighting fixtures. These durable lights are built to withstand the elements while delivering powerful lighting.
Parking lot lights are typically outfitted with dusk-to-dawn photocells to control the schedule based on the available light outside. Existing shoebox fixtures are also commonly retrofitted with LED corn bulbs.
Canopy Lights
Canopy lights are excellent choices for gas stations, parking garages, and loading docks. When used with compatible motion sensors and photocells, they reduce the need for manual control and allow your facility to run efficiently around the clock.
Wall Packs
Wall packs are mounted on exterior walls to provide even light across the outside of commercial buildings. These lights provide essential perimeter lighting around your building and are available in various styles, including full cutoff, mini, slim, adjustable, and rotatable, to fit the exact needs of your facility.
Flood & Area Lights
Commercial-grade flood lights are a perfect choice for lighting smaller areas of your building's exterior. They can illuminate signage, landscaping, or architectural features to make your space more welcoming and decorative.
Bollards
Bollards make it clear where the pathways, walkways, and driveways around your commercial property are located. These fixtures are available in varying styles and finishes to match the design of your exterior space.
Stadium Lights
Stadium and sports field lighting fixtures can be used in a variety of indoor and outdoor venues, including football fields, athletic fields, soccer stadiums, outdoor basketball courts, and pickleball courts. These products feature advanced optics that help reduce glare, focus the light beam, and make your lighting design more efficient.
How Can Our Lighting Experts Help You?
When it comes to lighting your operations, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Every space has unique needs and challenges that must be taken into account. There are some significant factors you need to consider when purchasing outdoor lighting for your property:
- Will there be heavy pedestrian traffic?
- What activities will be performed in your outdoor space? Are there areas for loading, parking, or walking?
- How far will patrons have to walk from the designated parking area?
- What kind of signage and wayfinding is necessary, and how do you plan to make it clear and visible at all times of the day?
- Will any part of your building leave your lights and fixtures exposed to the elements?
