Lighting for car dealerships: a lot that looks open after dark

Dealership lots are driven past at night, and a dark lot reads as a closed store. Curbsight Lighting lights the building outline in your brand color, puts accent light on the front line, builds showroom coves and a backlit logo wall, and can create a lit delivery stage where every buyer takes a photo with your name in it. Scenes for sales events and game days can be programmed by us, monthly.

The lot

Canopy edges and a building outline in your color, with accent light on the front line and the hero row. Lighting facing the road stays static until the city confirms motion is allowed (see below).

The showroom

Cove ceilings, display coffers, a backlit logo wall, and high-CRI white on the hero car, so the paint looks like the paint.

The delivery stage

A lit reveal bay where buyers take their delivery photo. Every sale becomes a social post with your dealership in the frame.

Scenes on a calendar

A sales-event weekend scene, Thunder playoff nights, OU and OSU Saturdays and the holidays. We change them on a monthly plan, so your team doesn't have to.

Franchise or independent

Factory image programs (Ford, Toyota, GM and others) control franchise facades and signage, so at a franchise store we start inside: the lounge, the delivery bay and the showroom features. Independent, pre-owned and exotic dealers have the most freedom outside.

Code checked first

Animated or flashing light facing a road can count as a sign under city code. We get a written answer from the city before programming any motion that faces the street. Static color is always safe.

Questions

Car dealerships: questions

Will it conflict with our factory image program?

It can on the facade. We start with interiors and the delivery bay, and propose exterior work only within what your program allows.

Can the lights animate for a sales event?

Inside, yes. Facing the road, only after the city confirms in writing that it isn't treated as an animated sign.

Who changes the scenes?

We do, on a monthly plan, or your team can from the app.
