Questions to ask yourself before choosing led parking lot lighting

Choosing the right parking lot lighting is critical to ensuring safety, security and energy efficiency. Considering the following questions can give you more clarity on your needs in order to choose the right lighting for your parking lot:

What is your climate?

Your climate will affect the type of parking lot lights you use. For example, when the ambient temperature is below -10°C, fluorescent lamps are very difficult to start and may not even start properly. And high temperatures accelerate lamp aging, reduce light output, and may lead to premature blackening and shortened lamp life. If you are in a cold or hot climate, consider using LED parking lot lights.

What is your parking lot environment?

If your parking lot tends to accumulate moisture or humidity, then you need to consider light fixtures that are moisture resistant, and if your parking lot needs to be cleaned on a regular basis and the fixtures will come in contact with jets of rinse water, then your fixture selection needs to be water resistant. If your parking lot can involve power outages or is in an area where there is a possibility of earthquakes, then you must choose parking lot lights with emergency lighting features.

What is the size and shape of your parking lot?

First you need to accurately measure the size of your parking lot space and then measure the lumens required based on the square footage of the area to be illuminated. Lumens are the unit of measurement for light output. Recommended lumens are 20 lumens per square foot or more for general parking areas (e.g., above a parking space or doorway) and 30 lumens per square foot or more for special areas (columns, corners, elevator lobbies). After you've done your math, look for fixtures that meet this requirement.

You also need to consider the shape of the parking lot, for example, a large, spacious rectangular space can be lit with batten light. The height and angle of the ceiling will also affect the lighting effect of the fixture. If the ceiling is too high, in addition to the normal ceiling surface mounted fixtures, you may need to use suspended fixtures to supplement the lighting.

underground parking lot lighting Current status

Currently, parking lots in the United States typically use dim, dull fluorescent lights or similar sources for continuous 24-hour lighting, some even relying on manual control. This practice not only consumes a lot of energy but also increases wear and tear on the fixtures, requiring frequent replacements and increasing maintenance difficulty and costs.

There are several pain points in the current state of underground parking lot lighting: significant differences between peak and off-peak periods lead to severe energy waste. The parking lot may not always be occupied, but traditional 24-hour lighting fixtures remain on, causing substantial energy waste. The operational costs are too high, with huge annual electricity expenses. Maintenance is difficult; large underground parking lots require numerous light fixtures, and the workload for replacement and repair is substantial, increasing management difficulty. Some underground parking lots, in an effort to save electricity, reduce the number of lighting fixtures, partially shut off lights, or manually control lighting times. However, these practices may increase the risk of safety accidents and add to labor costs.

Advantages of LED Lighting Fixtures for Underground Parking Lots

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

LED lights convert a significant portion of energy into visible light with minimal energy waste, outperforming traditional fluorescent tubes. This results in lower operating temperatures and greater energy efficiency even at the same brightness levels.

LED fixtures use only a third to half the energy of traditional fluorescent lights while providing equivalent brightness. This substantial reduction in energy consumption translates to significant cost savings on electricity bills.

Intelligent Lighting Control

Adaptive Illumination: Through software settings, the LED lights' operation is automatically controlled to provide different illumination levels at various times, maximizing energy use and extending the lights' lifespan.

Smart Sensing: Combining timing and sensing separates weekdays and weekends, automatically activating or deactivating lights according to preset schedules. Motion sensing control gradually brightens lights in the presence of people and dims them after a delay when no activity is detected.

The "lights on when people are present, lights off when people leave" smart sensing feature utilizes sensors linked to the lights. When these sensors detect people or vehicles, the lighting control system automatically adjusts the lights.

In addition to detecting moving objects, the smart sensing mode can predict the direction of motion, allowing for better adjustment of the light circuits and further savings in lighting costs. In an underground parking lot, when no people or vehicles are detected, the lights' brightness reduces to 10% of maximum; upon detecting movement, the brightness of the lights 30-50 meters ahead (adjustable distance) adjusts to 70% to 100% based on the direction of motion.

Motion Prediction: Sensors detect the direction of movement, allowing the lighting system to adjust the brightness of lights 30-50 meters ahead based on motion direction. This predictive capability enhances energy savings while ensuring adequate lighting when needed.

Timing and Sensing: A combination of timing and motion sensors controls the lights based on preset schedules for weekdays and weekends, gradually brightening in response to movement and dimming after a delay when no activity is detected.

Improved User Experience and Safety

Consistent Lighting Quality: LED lights provide bright, evenly distributed light without the flicker or noise associated with fluorescent lights, ensuring a better visual experience for users.

Enhanced Safety: Motion-activated LEDs deter potential intruders by illuminating only when movement is detected, creating the impression of an occupied and monitored area. This feature enhances the security of parking facilities.
