What Goes into a Successful Car Dealership Lighting Design?

A lighting design has to accomplish two main tasks: it must provide the right amount of light and the lighting needs to be balanced within the space. This never held more true for car dealerships – where showing cars in the best possible light is the most important part of the job. The better the lighting is, the more attractive the cars will look.

You can split a car dealership into 3 distinct areas – indoor showroom lightingoutdoor lighting, and service areas/offices/waiting room areas. Each of these areas has different requirements, different specifications, and different needs. Creating a lighting plan can help you find out what the lighting would look like if you follow the plan and light schedule indicated within the plan.

How Many Lumens Do You Need to Light Up a Car Dealership?

For the interior showroom of a car dealership, we recommend 40 to 100 lumens per square foot.

In the service area, we recommend between 40 and 75 lumens per square foot.

For the exterior lot, we recommend between 10 and 40 lumens per square foot.

What is the Ideal Pole Height to Use for Car Dealership Lighting Design?

Based on our years of experience, we generally find that higher performs better than lower. It creates a much better balance of lighting between the poles. At a minimum, we would recommend 20 ft high. Ideally, 30 ft is going to give better results than 20 ft poles.

What are the Recommended Light Levels for the Areas of a Car Dealership?

Showroom 40-100 fc
Service Area 40-75 fc
Sales Lot (Exterior) – Lighting Zone 3 (urban) 10-40 fc
Sales Lot (Exterior) – Lighting Zone 2 (suburban) 10-30 fc

How Do You Choose the Best Lights for a Car Dealership?

The lighting plan we create for car dealerships will assist in picking the best light for the business. There’s no need to guess, the lighting is either bright enough and balanced or it’s not. All the guesswork is removed when you start with a lighting plan.

How Accurate is a Lighting Plan?

It is very accurate. The software our lighting designer uses is industry-leading, and highly sophisticated. It’s sole purpose is to produce lighting plans that mimic physical indoor and outdoor spaces, and the foot candles and balance it reports on is extremely reliable. After installation of our lights, following the lighting plan, you should experience the light levels the lighting plan says you would get.
