Outdoor Lighting for Municipalities
When designing an outdoor lighting system there are many factors to consider: safety, security, cost, aesthetics. You want to keep your community attractive and inviting, while also making it safe and secure. Let WPS help, with our complete lighting program. We'll assist you in creating a pleasing outdoor streetscape that is well-lit from dusk to dawn. We have the expertise and equipment to light up your streets, parking lots, and building exteriors.
After visiting your area and consulting with you, your WPS representative will design a lighting layout and recommend a lighting system to suit your specific needs. You can select from energy-efficient fixtures in several styles and sizes to accent your surroundings and complement your architectural style. And we'll handle all installation and wiring.
Lighting fixtures can be mounted on existing WPS poles or, for a small additional charge, on WPS poles installed expressly for lighting. The WPS lease program includes your automatically controlled fixture, maintenance and the electricity to operate it, all at one economical monthly rate.
Our rate book provides outdoor lighting prices.
