Entergy Mississippi Offers Security Lighting: “For Peace of Mind, Light it Up!”

Jackson, Miss. – When the sun goes down, most of us get ready for a good night’s sleep, doors locked and homes secure. And now, Entergy Mississippi, Inc. is ready to help keep you safe.

The company is offering security lighting to residential, commercial and industrial customers with a theme of “For Peace of Mind, Light it Up!”

“Security lighting is an important concern of our customers,” said Gloria Johnson, director of customer service for Entergy Mississippi, Inc. “Thieves and burglars don’t like to go about their business where they can be seen.

“We’re 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 150-, 400- and 1,000-watt sizes. Metal halide floodlights that provide high-resolution color are available in 1,000-watts. A small installation fee may be charged, depending on extra wiring or trenching needed.

Customers are charged monthly for the lights with the charge added to existing bills. Charges vary depending on the light’s wattage and currently begin at about $9 per month. If a pole must be installed, an additional fee will be charged.

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

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

Those interested in a security light may call the lighting desk at 1-800-603-0192 or visit entergy-mississippi.com/securitylighting.
