GARAGE LIGHTING
Please take a few minutes to replace any burned out light bulbs on the outside of your garage and clean the glass on the fixtures so that the neighborhood is well lit. The illumination of the garage lights is the primary lighting for our community safety.
We have a recommendation for all residents! The bulbs recommended as a replacement for our outside Garage Lights are displayed here!
You can get the Bulbs (LED) at Home Depot and Menards. The prices have really come down, just over $3.00 a bulb that last you ten years and saves you money each day.
They key is to buy soft white.
So if you have not done so already, like many residents, replace the bulbs with LED and no need to worry about them for a long time and you are saving over $6.00 a month on your electric bill.
Savings: cost for lights running 10 Hours/Day 30 Days/Month:
4 regular bulbs about $7.30 4 LED bulbs about $0.70
After about 5 weeks the bulbs have paid for themselves and keep on saving every month!
Recommended Bulbs for outside Garage Lights (Sept. 2024)
SOFT or WARM White!
GARAGE LIGHT FIXTURE
GARAGE LIGHT FIXTURE
Installing New Bulbs
New bulbs may need to be sanded at the contact area (bottom) to increase the surface area to make better contact with the light housings. If you buy new bulbs check that the contact area is flat and smooth and will make contact with the light housing.
Also (important!) use a straw or small plastic pipe to blow out (clean) the area where the bulb is sitting - this may be the cause for the light not working!
Dust and dead mosquitos collect over time and when removing and screwing in a new bulb many times no contact is made and the light doesn't work.
Dusk to Dawn Light Bulbs would be an option as a last resort for non working sensors.
