Frequently Asked Questions

What is Parking Lot Lighting Design?

A parking lot commercial lighting design is a process and service that creates a visual report. It details a physical parking lot location (either from a CAD drawing or a Google Maps download). Then it's imported into specific lighting plan software. The software gives the ability to add LED lighting fixtures at different locations, with light pole locations and mounting heights on new or existing light poles. It then calculates light levels, balance, and light distribution using our LED Parking Lot Fixtures. The result is a lighting project report for the customer that represents the visual parking lot lighting solutions.

What is a Parking Lot Lighting Design Calculator?

A parking lot lighting calculator is a quick and simple tool. It shows how LED parking lot fixtures might look by adding or changing out lights. A better approach is to go with a parking lot lighting design. This professional lighting plan software provides detailed visual reporting. It will show proper light levels, light balance, and light locations.

Will Parking Lot Lighting Levels and Car Park Lighting Levels Be the Same?

Not necessarily. We typically see light level requirements in car park garages to be higher than open-air parking lots.

What are the Recommended Parking Lot Lighting Standards for Commercial Property Owners?

Customers have different requirements, but for the most part, the minimum parking lot lighting levels range between 1 and 10-foot candles. If there is a need for video security recordings, use higher levels.

What is the Ideal Parking Lot Light Spacing Using LED Parking Lot Lights?

Every lot is different. Every need is customer-specific or specified in the zoning/permitting for your city or town. Many factors determine spacing like light levels, coverage space, and mounting heights. Even building-mounted wall lights and LED Wall Packs affect spacing. A lighting plan will detail the proper spacing of fixtures and poles.

How Can A Parking Lot Lighting Plan Help Choose Between Type 3 and Type 5 Parking Lot Fixture Optics?

Lighting Plan Software is the perfect tool to show you how optics change the result of an outdoor space, like a parking lot. There is a danger of choosing lights you believe will work and testing it out by getting a lighting plan done first. As a rule of thumb, we place Type 5 optics in the center of a parking lot and Type 3 optics around the perimeter. But that isn't always the best option as every space is different. That is why lighting plans are so helpful. You can make all the mistakes inside the software and try different options until you select the right light and optic package.
