Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Construction Site’s Lighting Plan?
A Construction Site Lighting Plan is a software-generated report detailing how lighting will perform on a construction site or large outdoor space. It includes different types of construction site lights in various locations and shows a graphical representation of light levels in foot candles or lux throughout the entire construction area. We create these plans to ensure worker safety compliance and meet OSHA requirements for nighttime construction work.
What Are The Typical Construction Site Lighting Standards?
OSHA mandates specific minimum lighting requirements for construction sites:
- General Construction Areas – 5 foot candles
- Concrete placement, excavation, waste areas, refueling – 3 foot candles
- Construction plants, shops, equipment rooms – 10 foot candles
We design all lighting plans to meet or exceed these OSHA safety standards.

How Do You Calculate A Construction Lighting Plan To Provide Proper Lighting?
We use professional lighting software to create a physical layout of your construction site, then strategically place lights and poles in optimal locations. The software calculates precise foot candle readings across the entire site to ensure compliance with minimum light levels. This process guarantees uniform coverage and eliminates dangerous dark spots.

How Can You Ensure Construction Area Lighting Provides Adequate Coverage In The Work Zone?
We utilize industry-standard lighting software like AGI32 to design comprehensive lighting plans that illuminate construction equipment and critical work areas. Our plans accommodate both permanent and temporary lighting solutions using high-power LED fixtures. This approach keeps construction workers safe while maintaining optimal visibility for all construction tasks.
How Can You Minimize Hazards And Accidents With Good Construction Site Lighting Design?
Proper lighting design reduces accidents by ensuring complete area visibility and eliminating shadows that hide potential dangers. We prioritize illumination of high-risk zones, including excavation sites, scaffolding, material storage areas, and equipment pathways. Strategic light placement creates consistent coverage that helps workers identify hazards quickly.

How Does Construction Site Lighting Help With Security Issues?
Well-designed lighting systems deter theft and vandalism by eliminating hiding spots for unauthorized personnel. Proper illumination enables surveillance cameras to capture clear footage and allows security personnel to monitor the site effectively. We design lighting to provide perimeter security while maintaining optimal work zone visibility.
Why Should I Invest In A Professional Lighting Plan Instead Of Guessing Light Placement?
A professional lighting plan eliminates costly guesswork and ensures OSHA compliance from day one. Without proper planning, you risk inadequate coverage, wasted energy, and potential safety violations. Our plans show exact foot candle measurements and optimal fixture placement, preventing expensive repositioning and reducing liability risks significantly.
How Much Money Can A Lighting Plan Save On My Construction Project?
Professional lighting plans typically save 15-30% on equipment costs by eliminating over-lighting and optimizing fixture placement. We prevent expensive trial-and-error installations and reduce energy consumption through strategic design. The upfront planning investment pays for itself by avoiding safety violations and worker compensation claims.

What Information Do You Need To Create My Construction Site Lighting Plan?
We require your site dimensions and layout, specific work areas that need illumination, and any existing structures or obstacles. Providing project timeline details and required light levels helps us design the most efficient system. We can work with CAD files, aerial photos, or basic sketches to create your customized lighting solution.
