The Most Common Church Lighting Struggles
Visibility, Glare, and Inconsistency
Poor visibility, excessive glare, and inconsistent lighting are often challenges for churches, many of which are decades or even century-old buildings.
Poor visibility could cause elderly attendees to stumble, trip, or fall if footpaths are clearly illuminated. Excessive glare can be a source of optical discomfort and challenge any video or streaming function.
Inconsistent lighting from space to space, or even within the same area, can also be a safety issue and an aesthetic negative.
Lighting Control and Complexity
Limited control over your lighting systems and high complexity can also be troublesome.
Despite how dimming options are often standard within newer church buildings, the same cannot be said for older facilities with church lighting fixtures that are far from modern. The lack of dimming control can also be a pain point for spotlighting, ambient lighting, backlighting, stage lighting, and more.
Even standard church lighting can become complex if your church juggles multiple events back to back without adequate time to transition your setup.
Energy Costs and Sustainability
One of the most practical reasons churches reach out to the professionals at EPCO is to help them find lighting solutions that will help lower their monthly utility bills. These recurring energy costs can take away from a church body’s ability to pour back into the community it serves.
Another reason churches work with EPCO is to help increase their overall energy efficiency and sustainability. What better way to honor the church’s mission than by helping to make it stay beautiful and “green” for as long as possible?
