Self-Storage Talk Featured Thread: Illuminating the Costs and Benefits of Facility Lighting

Self-storage owners aim to provide a safe and secure site for their employees, customers and guests, and thorough facility lighting should be part of that goal.

In a recent thread on Self-Storage Talk, the industry’s largest online community, members discuss how they light up their properties while keeping the overhead under control. From motion sensors to timers to staggered placement, there are a number of workable solutions. See what they are and share your own ideas.
