Some lighting projects take place in a backyard. But this one was about the community at large. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Cincinnati and Dayton recently had the opportunity to provide professional outdoor lighting for three of the most important municipal properties in Norwood, Ohio: Norwood City Hall, the Norwood Police Station, and the Norwood Fire Station.
These are buildings that the community recognizes and relies on. Lighting them well is a way of making sure their service to the community is readily visible even after dark.
Norwood City Hall
Architectural lighting can bring out the character and importance of civic buildings once the sun goes down. And make no mistake: city halls are landmarks. So the work here was about thoughtfully placing fixtures and bringing attention to the building’s architectural details without overwhelming it with light and compromising its stateliness.
There’s a difference between making buildings bright and using light as a way to complement architecture. Differences tend to show more on buildings like these. By updating the lighting for Norwood City Hall, we were able to provide a polished and welcoming nighttime presence while reinforcing the building as a recognizable community landmark.
Norwood Police Station
Being able to find the police facility in the dark is a practical matter as well as an aesthetic one. Proper exterior lighting improves nighttime visibility around entrances and walkways, which matters more on properties, like these, that tend to be used around the clock. When designed well, the same lighting makes buildings feel professional and secure while still fitting in naturally with the surrounding community.
Norwood Fire Station
Fire stations are among the most recognizable community buildings there are. Exterior lighting helps maintain that presence after sunset.
We used lighting strategically here to make sure the building and signage are clear. Outdoor areas that see frequent use have also been illuminated to make it easier for the staff to see where they’re going. The finished result balances necessary function with a clean and attractive nighttime appearance.
Why Community Properties Choose Outdoor Lighting Perspectives
Municipal and community buildings ask more of their lighting than most properties. They have to look their best and work hard at the same time. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives brings over 20 years of design and installation experience to every project. And that matters with important civic buildings.
We use durable fixtures made of heavy brass and copper. The lights are energy-efficient low-voltage LEDs. These systems are built to last and keep operating costs down while they do it. See our commercial lighting page to see more examples of this work in the real world.
