Baton Rouge, La. – For many Louisianans, keeping homes and businesses safe and secure is a top priority. Now, Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. want to do their part to help.

The companies are now offering security lighting to residential, commercial and industrial customers behind the theme of “For Peace of Mind, Light it Up!”

“Security lighting is an important concern to our customers,” said Steven Scheurich, vice president of customer service for Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. “Thieves and burglars don’t like to go about their business where they can be seen. We are very pleased to add security lighting to our business and bring our expertise to bear for the benefit of our customers.”

Security lights begin with a 100-watt high-pressure sodium light suitable for a home. High-pressure sodium floodlights are also available in 100-, 400- and 1,000-watt sizes. Metal halide floodlights that provide high-resolution color are available in 320-, 400- and 1,000-watt sizes.

Customers are charged monthly for the lights with the charge added to existing bills. The charges vary depending on the light’s wattage and currently begin at about $10 per month. If a pole must be installed, an additional fee will be charged.

No fee is charged for regular maintenance and even if the light and pole are destroyed in a weather event, such as a hurricane, it will be replaced free of charge to the customer.

“We use industry standard products,” Scheurich said. “They are fully tested, weather-resistant and commercial-grade. Our installers are fully trained electrical workers who keep safety first and foremost in their work.”
