What is Parking Lot Lighting Design?

A parking lot commercial lighting design creates a comprehensive visual report detailing your physical parking lot location using CAD drawings or Google Maps data. We import your space into professional lighting plan software, then add LED lighting fixtures at optimal locations with specified light pole locations and mounting heights. The software calculates light levels, balance, and distribution using our LED Parking Lot Fixtures, delivering a detailed lighting project report that represents your complete parking lot lighting solution.

What is a Parking Lot Lighting Design Calculator?

A parking lot lighting calculator provides basic estimates for LED parking lot fixture placement and changes. However, a professional parking lot lighting design offers detailed visual reporting with precise light levels, light balance calculations, and optimal fixture locations. This comprehensive approach ensures compliance with local codes and maximizes energy efficiency.

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

No, lighting requirements differ significantly between applications. Car park garages typically require higher light levels than open-air parking lots due to enclosed spaces and safety considerations. We design each lighting plan to meet specific IES standards for your application type.

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

Minimum parking lot lighting levels typically range between 1 and 10 foot-candles depending on your specific requirements and local codes. For properties requiring video security recordings, we recommend higher light levels of 5-10 foot-candles. Our lighting designs ensure compliance with IES standards and local zoning requirements.

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

Optimal spacing depends on multiple factors including required light levels, coverage area, mounting heights, and existing building-mounted fixtures like LED Wall Packs. Each lot requires custom spacing based on zoning requirements and specific lighting goals. A professional lighting plan determines the precise spacing needed for uniform coverage and code compliance.

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

Lighting plan software demonstrates exactly how different optics perform in your specific space before you purchase fixtures. We typically place Type 5 optics in parking lot centers and Type 3 optics around perimeters, but every space requires custom optic selection. The software allows us to test multiple configurations and deliver the optimal light distribution for your application.

How Much Money Can a Professional Lighting Plan Save on My Parking Lot Project?

A professional lighting plan typically saves 15-30% on total project costs by optimizing fixture placement and preventing over-lighting. You’ll avoid costly mistakes like purchasing incorrect fixtures or requiring additional poles after installation. Our plans also maximize energy savings of 60-75% compared to traditional lighting systems.

What Information Do You Need to Create My Parking Lot Lighting Design?

We need your site dimensions, preferred light levels, mounting height requirements, and any existing fixture locations. A CAD drawing or site address for Google Maps download works perfectly. We can typically complete your lighting design within 2-3 business days after receiving site information.

Will a Lighting Plan Help with Permits and Code Compliance?

Yes, our lighting designs include IES-compliant calculations and detailed reports that satisfy most permitting requirements.

Many contractors report faster permit approval when submitting our professional lighting designs.
