By Eric Gandler – Clifton Park’s Trusted Commercial Electrician
When it comes to commercial spaces, lighting and electrical fixtures aren’t just about visibility—they play a major role in energy efficiency, employee productivity, and even customer experience. At Eric Gandler Development Electric, serving Clifton Park and the greater Capital Region, we help businesses select the right electrical solutions for their unique needs. Here’s how to make smart choices when it comes to your fixtures.
1. Understand Your Space’s Purpose
Different areas of your building may need different types of lighting. Offices typically require bright, evenly distributed light to minimize eye strain. Warehouses and industrial settings might benefit from high-bay LED fixtures for broader coverage. Retail environments call for lighting that enhances product visibility and aesthetics.
2. Prioritize Energy Efficiency
Modern LED fixtures can reduce energy consumption by up to 75% compared to traditional options. While the upfront cost may be slightly higher, long-term savings on your utility bill and maintenance costs make them a smart investment. Eric Gandler Clifton Park can recommend ENERGY STAR®-rated products and design a lighting plan that cuts your energy usage without sacrificing performance.
3. Plan for Smart Controls
Lighting control systems, such as motion sensors, dimmers, and daylight harvesting technology, allow your building to automatically adjust lighting based on occupancy or natural light levels. These systems save money and extend the life of your bulbs. Our team can integrate these smart systems seamlessly into your existing electrical infrastructure.
4. Focus on Safety and Compliance
Improperly installed fixtures or outdated systems can create fire hazards or violate code requirements. At Development Electric, safety is always the top priority. We ensure every fixture is properly installed and meets all national and local codes—keeping your building safe and your business compliant.
