General

What Kind of Lighting Do You Find in Parking Garages?

Parking garages have low ceiling heights. So lighting installed is low power with wide beam angles. The most common lights are canopy style, canopy low bays and vapor tight lights.

What Is the Smallest Lighting Level in a Parking Garage?

That varies, as different locations have different standards. Our customers have asked for levels in a range between 1 and 5 foot candles, based on what their cities mandate.

How Many Lumens Do You Need for a Parking Garage?

To determine the proper light levels, it’s best to start with the amount of foot candles you need. And then create a lighting plan.

What Is the Ideal Number of Foot Candles for a Parking Garage?

This is up to the customer and the requirements of the city, town or county the garage is in. But as mentioned above, the range seems to be between 1 and 5 foot candles.

Generally, the more LED Parking Garage Lights and LED Parking Lot Lights there is, the safer the environment will be.

How Much Lighting Does a 36000 Square Foot Parking Garage Need?

We modeled a garage, 600 feet by 60 feet with 10 ft ceilings, and used our 55 Watt low bay canopy light.  And set the model to achieve an average of 9 foot candles in the space.

It calculated that we required 58 fixtures to achieve those light levels. Average levels to min levels are around 2.0. Meaning we have balanced and even light levels across the entire parking garage.

We Have Shadows Now Between Fixtures, How Do We Get Rid of Them?

There’s many reasons why there are shadows between fixtures.

The beam angle on the fixture you have isn’t wide enough and too narrow.
The light fixtures are too far apart and you don’t have enough lights installed.
There are obstructions getting in the way of light being able to reach where it needs to.

BEFORE YOU BUY

What Are IECC Lighting Control Requirements for Parking Garages?

IECC requires that occupants be given the ability to reduce lighting load in a reasonable uniform pattern by at least 50% in each indoor enclosed space, with some exceptions.

How Many LED Parking Garage Lighting Fixtures Do You Need?

This depends on the light level you need. It will depend on the mounting height. The lower the ceiling is, the lower wattage fixtures you’ll need. A lighting plan will help you figure this out. It will give you all the information you’re looking for. Light levels, fixture location, fixture count and how balanced the lighting.

Do I Need Vapor Tight Fixtures for a Parking Garage?

You don’t need vapor tight fixtures, but here’s a reason to consider them. If the parking garage is underground, car exhaust might affect the fixtures over time. Sealed vapor tight fixtures that protect the internal components. This ensures they operate for a long period of time. Most of the canopy fixtures we offer are IP65 and are also sealed.
