Outdoor lighting

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of San Antonio hates to be the bearer of bad news, but as most of us know by now, new tariffs loom on the horizon. While we wish these price increases would not affect our business, the hard truth is…they do. And unfortunately, it affects our clients once 2019 rolls around. If you have been planning a new outdoor lighting project or lighting update for your home or business, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of San Antonio implores you to act now to avoid the higher cost of materials.

HOW DO THE NEW U.S. TARIFFS AFFECT OUR PRODUCT COSTS?

Regrettably, the products offered by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of San Antonio are projected to see up to a 20% increase in cost. This increase includes our metal lighting fixtures, as well as many of the LED components we use in our outdoor lighting. These price increases must be passed on to our commercial outdoor lighting and residential outdoor lighting clients. The unfortunate increase in LED lighting components is quite the conundrum, as one of the biggest reasons home and business owners choose LED outdoor lighting is for energy cost savings. The new tariffs impede those savings, which can be up to 60% over their halogen and incandescent counterparts. Higher material costs can affect the overall lifetime savings.
