Security lighting

SRP's Dusk-to-Dawn Lighting provides illumination when you most need it -- from dusk to dawn.

A light-control photocell automatically turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The amber lighting provides visibility and security at night -- critical to both pedestrian safety and the reduction of vandalism, graffiti, theft and other crimes.

Dusk-to-Dawn Lighting not only contributes to the safety of your customers, employees and family, it also helps avoid potential liability due to inadequate lighting levels.

  • Parking lots
  • Parks and playgrounds
  • Industrial lots such as structures and storage yards
  • Alleys
  • Private streets
  • Patios
  • Remote structures or areas

There are several types of available lighting fixtures.

Charges

SRP offers several Dusk-to-Dawn Lighting programs. They include fixtures and/or poles owned and maintained by SRP. You also have options to own and maintain your own equipment.

In all cases, we provide contracts for a fixed monthly charge per light. The fixed charge is not based on electricity usage (Dusk-to-Dawn lights are not metered), but rather upon the type of fixture and whether or not a new or existing pole is used.

The fixed monthly charge runs from about $10 to $27 per light, on either a four-year or 20-year contract. Depending on the style of light you choose, miscellaneous charges may apply. Permit charges will apply in the city of Phoenix. Contracts are available to both business and residential customers.

Pole and fixture options

An existing pole will be used whenever possible. If an existing pole is not available, you have the option of paying a monthly charge to have SRP install a pole, or install their own pole and light fixture. Customer-owned poles must be inspected and approved by SRP and must be accessible to SRP trucks. The contract provides for electrical service only to customer-installed poles.

Installation

All necessary trenching and conduit installation must be completed before SRP can begin lighting installation. In addition, you (or your electrical contractor) are responsible for the installation of a J-Box (the point of electrical connection and delivery) at the pole site.

If you have any questions about Dusk-to-Dawn lighting, please e-mail us or call SRP's Maintenance Engineering/Lighting Division at (602) 236-8888.
