Daylight Savings is your System Ready?

With daylight saving time ending,  it will get darker earlier in the evening.

Is your outdoor lighting system ready?

System Ready - Daylight Saving TimeWe recommend checking the timer on your landscape lighting system as it is getting darker earlier now and many systems are set for our long summer days.  This is especially important if you have a manual timer.  If you have an updated astronomical timer, it will adjust automatically.  If you still have a manual timer, it may be time for an upgrade to an astronomical timer so you no longer have to remember to reset them as the day changes during seasons. It is time to make sure your outdoor lighting system ready!

With the time change, you can expect it to get dark around 5:30 in the evening.  By adding outdoor lighting to your home, YOU will control the time it gets dark at your house, not mother nature. Here in San Antonio, we know this time of year is often the best time to enjoy the outdoors with the cooler temperatures. Reclaim your light-filled evenings by adding outdoor lighting to your outdoor living area so you can enjoy a little more time outside this fall.

Longer nights equal more hours your bulbs are burning!  If you haven’t upgraded to LED lamps yet, now is definitely the time to do it.  Upgrading your bulbs to LED will cut your energy costs significantly.  Retrofitting your system will easily pay for itself with the energy savings.  Call us today for a free quote on upgrading your current lighting system.

Daylight Saving Time has been in the press recently.  While there have always been a few states/areas that don’t follow daylight saving time, there are even more areas considering not making the change.  The concern seems to be making the change back and forth twice a year and the impact that has on many different things including our health.   What do you think?
