Frequently Asked Questions
What Goes into a Quality Lighting Design for Parking Garages?
The foundation of a quality lighting design for parking garages is a good lighting plan. A lighting plan software can import floor layouts of existing parking garages, and lights can be added within the model to show how well-lit the space can be. Lights can be swapped, changed, moved, added, or eliminated within the plan until the desired light levels and light balance are met. The plan will show light levels, calculated light balance, and even 3D renderings of how lit the space will be.
What are the Recommended Parking Garage Lighting Standards?
We recommend at least a 2 to 10 foot candle average with a light balance (average/minimum) of 2.0 or less.
What is the Ideal Lighting Layout for Parking Garages?
The ideal layout presents light levels and balance within the defined parking garage space. Making sure the area is bright enough and the light is balanced and uniform is fundamental.
Are There Any Foot Candle Requirements for Parking Garages?
If there are any city or town lighting requirements, they would be identified by your permitting or zoning board. Please check with them.
How Many Lumens Do You Need for a Parking Garage?
The appropriate level of lumens will vary, but 2 to 10 lumens per square foot is a good gauge.
We Have Shadows Now Between Fixtures, How Do We Get Rid of Them?
There are many reasons why there are shadows between lighting 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.
- Obstructions are getting in the way of light being able to reach where it needs to.
