How to Install an IPL Security Street Light

Independent Power and Lighting is a company in Kansas City, Missouri that offers security lighting rental to neighborhoods and individuals. IPL security lighting can only be installed by a licensed IPL construction team with approval by the local city in Missouri. Typically, the security lights are chosen by a neighborhood association and selected as a group. If you want to install an IPL security light on your street or in your neighborhood, there are several steps involved in getting the lights selected and installed by IPL. You can also install IPL security lighting on private property.

Instructions

    • 1

      Choose between a flood light and an area light. Flood lights are best for lighting specific areas, while area lights are best for overall safety and security lighting.

    • 2

      Pick a wattage for the light. The price varies depending on the wattage. Higher wattage lights cost more per month than those with lower watts.

    • 3

      Determine whether you will have to install a lighting pole or if you can use an existing lighting or telephone pole. If a new pole is necessary, there is an additional charge.

    • 4

      Consult with your neighborhood association on the placement of the light. Some associations do not approve of individuals placing security lights in their yards. Ohers have rules for how many lights can be installed per street. Obtain all other necessary permits and licenses.

      Call an IPL customer service representative at (816) 325-7573. Discuss your lighting needs with the associate. Set up a time and place to install the new light. Tell the representative where to bill the new light, whether to you personally or to a neighborhood association.
