Frequently Asked Questions:

Are condo associations responsible for exterior lighting?

Yes. The Home Owners Association is responsible for updating, repairing, and maintaining proper outdoor lighting that is used by the public, such as light poles for parking lots, sidewalk or lawn light fixtures, or lights mounted to walls for increased visibility and security. 

What are some suggestions on designing outdoor residential lighting projects?

HOAs: HOA exterior lighting requires outdoor lighting fixtures that illuminate communal landscapes such as HOA entryway lighting, light poles within gated communities, and lighting designs to brighten public sidewalks. 

Condominiums: LightMart suggests using a lighting design similar to LED bollard lights, adding a decorative touch to the front of any condo or apartment property. Proper parking lot lighting is also essential in spaces like this. To amp up security protection, we also recommend installing security camera poles for monitoring purposes. 

Apartment Buildings:  Apartment exterior lighting designs are typically similar to condo buildings, with the need for sufficient street, walkway, and parking lot lighting. However, parking garages are more often found at apartment complexes compared to condo buildings and HOA communities. LightMart carries LED parking garage lighting to illuminate the area. Parking garages also usually require heightened lighting and security surveillance, so be sure to consider the needs of building residents when choosing LED lights and light poles.  

Do landlords handle any issues with apartment outdoor lighting?

Yes, to an extent. Landlords will address exterior lighting issues at apartment complexes that affect the building’s residents, for instance, replacing the parking lot light poles. However, outdoor lights installed by individuals – such as decorative string lights on a balcony or patio – must be replaced or fixed by the resident themself. 

As for interior apartment lighting, common areas where lighting is often collectively used by residents of apartment buildings includes hallway lighting, elevator lighting, laundry unit lighting, etc. Landlords are responsible for fixing any lighting issues in these shared areas. 

What are the HOA lighting rules put in place? 

Surprisingly, there aren’t many requirements when it comes to HOA lighting and the regulations surrounding lighting standards for HOA properties. Public outdoor lighting is held to policies put in place by city or county policies. 

However, there are associations that are working to strongly suggest lighting principles that maintain energy and cost while reducing obstructive lighting within residential communities.

How can light spread and light pollution for residential lighting be prevented? 

Light pollution can increase maintenance and light bill costs, energy waste, and negatively affect the environment. To prevent the spread of light pollution, we suggest investing in warm white LED lights and motion sensored LED light fixtures.
