Parking Lot Lighting in North Texas

Koryente, a licensed Texas electrical contractor (TDLR #32774), provides parking lot and pole lighting installation, LED retrofits, and repair for commercial, municipal, and rural properties across North Texas. The work covers new poles and fixtures, LED upgrades from older metal halide or high-pressure sodium lighting, controls, and the underground circuits that feed them. It suits property managers, municipalities, and business owners who need a lot or site reliably lit.

Our service includes

What's included in a site lighting project

Parking lot and area light installation

New pole and area fixtures placed and wired for drive lanes, parking rows, and walkways, sized to the site's layout and traffic.

LED fixture retrofits and upgrades

Older metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures replaced with LED heads on existing poles, or a full fixture and driver upgrade.

Photocells, timers, and lighting controls

Dusk-to-dawn photocells, timers, and scheduling controls wired and set so lighting runs reliably without manual switching.

Pole and fixture repair

Damaged poles, failed drivers or ballasts, and storm-related outages diagnosed and repaired, including fixtures that stay on, stay off, or flicker.

Underground feeders and circuits to light poles

Trenching, conduit, and wiring routed from the building's electrical service to each pole or fixture location.

Planning guidance

Coverage and capacity should be planned together, not fixture by fixture

A site lighting project starts with how the space is used: drive lanes, parking rows, walkways, and any areas with particular safety or security concerns. Pole height, spacing, and fixture selection follow from that layout, not from swapping in a brighter fixture wherever the old one failed.

Koryente reviews the existing poles, wiring, and electrical service first, since a full LED retrofit, a partial fixture upgrade, and new poles and circuits each suit different starting conditions. The same approach guided Koryente's site lighting and dimmer-switch work at the San Felipe de Austin Historic Site and the illuminated athletic-complex sign at Van Alstyne High School.

What to expect

How a site lighting project comes together

  1. 1

    Site walk and lighting assessment

    Koryente walks the site at night when possible, noting dark areas and failed fixtures before proposing a layout.

  2. 2

    Layout, fixture selection, and permitting

    Pole locations and fixture output are matched to the site, and Koryente pulls any required permit and coordinates with the utility.

  3. 3

    Trenching, installation, and controls

    Feeders, poles, and fixtures go in to plan, and photocells or timers are set for reliable dusk-to-dawn operation.

  4. 4

    Testing and final walkthrough

    The finished lighting is tested at night and confirmed against the original assessment before closeout.

Serving North Texas

Site lighting across growing and rural North Texas properties

Commercial and public parking areas are keeping pace with the residential growth reshaping McKinney and Anna, and each new site needs pole and area lighting sized to the finished plan before it opens. Inside city limits, new pole lighting or added electrical capacity typically requires a building permit and inspection, which Koryente coordinates with the local building department.

Rural and acreage properties elsewhere in the service area more often need a longer feeder run out to a driveway, gate, or yard light, with the serving utility involved whenever the project adds a new point of service. Koryente sizes that route the same way it sizes a multi-pole commercial lot, so the site's actual layout drives the work.

Common questions

Site & Pole Lighting questions, answered

What is parking lot lighting called?

It goes by several names — parking lot lighting, area lighting, site lighting, or pole lighting — all referring to the same category of pole- or building-mounted fixtures that light drive lanes, parking rows, and walkways. Koryente treats all of it as one coordinated project regardless of the term used.

What is the best type of lighting for a parking lot?

LED fixtures are the standard choice today, replacing older metal halide and high-pressure sodium heads. They use less energy, last longer between replacements, and reach full brightness instantly instead of warming up. The right output and beam pattern still depend on pole height, spacing, and the site's layout, not one fixture that fits every lot.

What determines the cost of a parking lot lighting project?

Cost follows the number of poles or fixtures involved, whether it's a full LED retrofit of existing poles or new poles and circuits, the distance from the electrical service, and whether permitting or utility coordination is required. Koryente prices the actual scope after a site visit.

Do I need a permit for new pole or parking lot lighting?

In most of Koryente's service area, yes — cities require a permit and inspection for new poles, added circuits, or increased electrical capacity, and Koryente handles that with the local building department. Outside city limits, county permit authority is limited, so a rural or unincorporated project may or may not need one; Koryente confirms this for the specific property before work begins. A straightforward LED retrofit on an existing pole is less likely to require a permit, depending on the jurisdiction.
