Parking Lot & Plaza Lighting

The lighting of the parking lot must be targeted to achieve the lighting effect. The parking space needs to ensure a clear display of ground markings, ground locks, and isolation railings to ensure that the driver will not hit the ground obstacles due to insufficient illumination when driving into the parking space. After the vehicle is parked, there should be appropriate lights to display the vehicle body to facilitate the identification of other drivers and the access of vehicles. 

Therefore, the illumination needs about 20-50LX; The traffic lane needs about 30-75LX illuminance to identify; The lighting at the entrance and exit of the parking lot should be properly strengthened because of the need to verify, charge, recognize the driver's face and facilitate the communication between the staff and the driver; For the illumination requirements at the parking space, there will be a section of the sidewalk when pedestrians get on or off the vehicle and leave. The lighting of this section of the road should be considered as an ordinary sidewalk, and appropriate ground lighting and vertical lighting should be provided.

To achieve the isolation effect inside and outside the parking lot for safety reasons, the parking lot shall meet certain illumination requirements and reduce the impact on the atmosphere outside the parking lot. You can choose professional optical lenses or improve the street lamp layout. CHZ Lighting provides high-quality parking lot lighting & plaza lighting devices and professional lighting solutions.

Lighting for Ordinary Surface Parking Lot

The lighting of ordinary ground parking lots should take into account factors such as entrances, signs, ground markings, parking spaces, bodywork, pedestrian routes and the environment. Ensure safety and adjust the environment. 

LED lights are becoming increasingly popular for ordinary surface parking lots due to their energy efficiency and long lifespan. When choosing LED lights for your parking lot, it is important to consider the light output (lumens), color temperature, and beam angle. Lumens measures the total amount of light emitted by a light source, while color temperature is a measure of the “warmth” or “coolness” of the light. The beam angle is important to consider because it determines how wide of an area the light will illuminate.

Lighting for On-street Parking Lots

On-street parking lots are on-street parking spaces that occupy part of the road surface, and their lighting can usually be taken into account by road lighting fixtures. However, in order to obtain good results, appropriate targeted adjustments must be made when necessary, such as adjusting the distance between the light poles, the height of the light installation, and the light distribution of the light, etc., so as to avoid the shadow of the car body from hindering the entry and exit of other vehicles or in place. To prevent these shadows from affecting the lighting of the road pavement.

Lighting for Underground Parking Lot

In addition to meeting the lighting requirements of ordinary surface parking lots, the lighting of underground parking lots should also consider that underground parking lots need to be divided into daytime and nighttime lighting, transitional lighting at the entrance area, lighting for ramps and pedestrian passages, and the improvement of the space environment atmosphere.

There are many factors to consider when designing a lighting plan for this type of space.

      • The first step is to determine the level of illumination required. This will vary depending on the intended use of the parking lot. For example, if it is a public space that will be used for 24-hour operations, then a higher level of illumination will be necessary;

      • Once the level of illumination has been determined, the next step is to select the appropriate light fixtures. Many types of lighting fixtures are available, so it is important to consult with a lighting specialist to ensure that the correct ones are selected;

      • The final step is to install the fixtures to provide an even distribution of light throughout the parking lot. This can be challenging, but it is essential to ensure safety and visibility in the space.
