Reminder: Clocks Go Back on October 27th – Don’t Forget to Adjust Your Lighting Systems

 

With the clocks set to go back an hour on Sunday, October 27th, it’s a good time for block managers and on-site teams to check that their timeclock operated lighting systems are properly commissioned to accommodate the change in sunrise-sunset hours. As the evenings get darker earlier, it is essential to make sure that timeclocks controlling dusk-to-dawn lighting are updated to match the change in daylight hours.

Failing to do so could leave key areas like stairwells, entrances, and pathways unlit at the times they are needed most, which could lead to safety issues.

Thinking About an Upgrade?

This time of year, is also a great opportunity to think about upgrading old time-clock systems.

That means fewer manual adjustments throughout the year and more efficient lighting overall.
