Exterior Lighting Is a Safety & Brand Standard Issue
Exterior building lights serve multiple purposes:
- Illuminate entry points
- Improve customer and employee safety
- Reduce liability exposure
- Highlight building signage
- Reinforce nighttime brand presence
- Parking lot light maintenance
When exterior lighting fails, it affects both safety and perception.
Burns Custom Signs works exclusively with commercial properties. We do not perform residential electrical work. Exterior lighting installation and service are core specialties, not secondary offerings.
Trusted by National Retail & Restaurant Brands
We maintain established working relationships with national sign manufacturers and retail programs that depend on dependable local service. Our team has supported projects for brands including Hilton, CVS, Burlington, Ruby Tuesday, and regional restaurant chains.
National programs rely on us because:
- We follow strict brand and lighting standards

- We protect signage and property appearance
When we service exterior lighting, we understand we are representing your business to every customer who visits your property after dark.
LED Wall Packs & Building-Mounted Lighting
Modern exterior building lighting typically includes LED wall packs and perimeter fixtures designed for efficiency and durability.
We provide:
- LED wall pack installation
- Exterior façade lighting installation
- Electrical troubleshooting
- Driver and ballast replacement
- Photocell and timer adjustments
- LED retrofits and performance upgrades
We are insured and capable of handling electrical work within 8–10 feet of the lighting structure. For larger electrical scopes, we coordinate with a licensed electrician partner to ensure safe, code-compliant completion.
48-Hour Service Response for Lighting Failures
Lighting outages should not remain unresolved for extended periods. In retail and restaurant environments, nighttime visibility is critical to operations and safety.
We aim for a 48-hour response time on many service calls within our primary service area. We are known for adjusting schedules when necessary to protect client timelines and reduce downtime.
Common exterior lighting service issues include:
- Burned-out LED fixtures
- Driver failures
- Damaged wiring
- Storm-related fixture damage
- Water intrusion
- Timer and photocell malfunctions
Whether we installed your lighting system or not, we can service and repair it.
Professional Installation with Direct Owner Oversight
Exterior building lighting requires proper lift access, electrical expertise, and structural awareness.
When you contact Burns Custom Signs, you speak directly with ownership — not a dispatcher or project manager.
Both owners are actively involved in installation and service work. That hands-on oversight ensures:
- Accurate site evaluations
- Clear project communication
- Professional on-site conduct
- Reliable scheduling
- Quality workmanship
We are not the largest electrical contractor in the region. We focus on quality over volume and are known for reliability, accountability, and protecting our clients’ reputations.
