Why we light our parking lots
Poor lighting: A dim or dark parking area can be a hazardous place and can add to falls, injuries, or accidents. A well-lit parking lot could help reduce potential liability by increasing safety.
Effective lighting: Through proper lighting design, equipment, and maintenance, you ensure quality driver and pedestrian nighttime visibility.
Our experts will make sure your new parking lot lighting system is compliant with Illuminating Engineering Society lighting recommended practices.

Understanding your parking lot lighting technology
As an industry leader with installation of over 85,000 LED outdoor lighting luminaries, DTE Energy offers high performance, energy efficient, long life LED products which includes optimal lighting performance with careful consideration of appearance, color quality, and glare control.
Maintenance free
Surface rust and deterioration on the exterior of metal poles and luminaries reduces site appearance and aesthetics. DTE Energy-owned poles are regularly inspected for pole painting or replacement maintenance service. 
Parking lot safety
Steel poles rusting from the inside out make condemnations difficult to visually detect. Wind induced vibration may also lead to pole failures. Failure to engineer, measure, and replace parking lot lighting equipment could put the safety of your employees, tenants, and customers at risk.
