Daylight saving time is here, bringing longer evenings and later sunsets—but while we’re enjoying more daylight, your facility’s exterior lighting schedule might be out of sync.
For facility managers overseeing national portfolios, it’s not about neglecting lighting schedules—it’s about the reality that across multiple locations, even the most routine adjustments can slip through the cracks. Something as simple as ensuring signage and exterior lighting timers are properly updated might seem minor, but if just one store, warehouse, or parking lot is left in the dark, it can quickly become a bigger issue.
A single out-of-sync timer could mean a flagship storefront appearing closed well before business hours end or a dimly lit parking lot creating an unnecessary security concern. And in facilities management, where every minute is spent juggling competing priorities, it's easy for these adjustments to be overlooked until someone reports a problem.
But by then, that problem has already affected customer experience, safety, compliance, or brand perception.
So, how can facility managers make sure their locations are fully functional without pulling teams off higher-priority projects or sending people out to check in-person?
A Smarter Way to Keep Facilities in Sync with Daylight Saving Time
This is where ProxyPics comes in. Rather than waiting for a site manager or customer to report an issue, ProxyPics provides a proactive approach to nighttime signage and lighting audits.
With a nationwide network of trained data collectors, we send professionals to your locations at the right time—after dark, when these issues are actually visible. Whether it's a storefront, distribution center, or retail parking lot, we document exactly what’s happening on-site:
Are signs illuminating correctly at the right time? If an LED channel letter or backlit sign isn't functioning, you’ll know before customers start calling about it.
Are canopy lights and parking lot poles turning on when expected? A simple misalignment in the schedule can leave high-traffic areas underlit, creating security concerns for both employees and customers.
Is there any unexpected damage or outages? Sometimes, it’s not just about timing—storms, wiring issues, or maintenance delays can leave lights completely out. Our nighttime surveys ensure you have photographic evidence of any malfunctions before they become major liabilities.
With real-time reporting, ProxyPics delivers the data immediately, allowing facility managers to identify problems and take action fast. No need to send an internal team or rely on secondhand reports—you’ll get precise, timestamped documentation that tells the full story.
Be Proactive, Not Reactive
Daylight saving time shifts might seem like a small operational adjustment, but for multi-location facilities, the impact can be felt immediately. Rather than waiting for reports of dark storefronts or unlit parking lots, ProxyPics helps you stay ahead—ensuring all locations remain well-lit, compliant, and safe.
Let’s get your first 10 nighttime lighting and signage audits scheduled—on us because one missed adjustment shouldn’t mean lost revenue, safety risks, or compliance issues.
