Parking Lot Lighting

Upgrading to LED parking lot lighting is a wise long-term investment. The most direct benefit is significant energy savings, with LED lighting reducing electricity costs by up to 75% compared to traditional lighting.

Additionally, LED parking lot light fixtures have an extremely long lifespan, typically exceeding 50,000 hours, meaning they require virtually no replacement for over 10 years, significantly reducing maintenance costs and labor requirements.

Furthermore, LED parking area lighting provides higher-quality, more uniform illumination, effectively eliminating dark corners and enhancing safety and visibility in nighttime parking lots, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and crime.

In summary, upgrading to solar LED parking lot lighting not only reduces operational costs but also creates a safer and more welcoming environment for your customers and employees.

The beam angle is the angle at which light radiates out of a fixture. A small beam angle (e.g., 60°) produces an intense but narrow spot of light for commercial parking lot lighting, whereas a greater angle produces more widely over a wider area (e.g., 120 °).

A more specific type of light distribution (e.g., Type III, Type IV, Type V) is a light pattern that determines the ground shape of the light.

Type III: This one pushes light forward and is best used to light the sections at the periphery of a parking lot.
Type IV: Pushes the light forward also, but in a broader spread, and is used for mounting on the sides of the buildings to light adjacent lots.
Type V: Projects a round or square pattern, which suits perfectly in the middle of large, open parking places.
The efficient choice of the pattern is essential. It makes sure the light is only used where necessary, cutting down both light spill over into neighboring properties (light trespass) and on energy waste.

There is no standard answer because this all depends on the site that you are classified on. The amount of required lighting equipment, its location, and the necessary wattage should be identified with the help of the professional lighting simulation, which is usually calculated with the help of the DIALux software.

Such a process has several major variables to take into account:

• The size of the parking lot (height and width).
• The level of illuminance that is necessary (e.g, IESNA brightness and uniformity recommendations).
• The height at which the light poles are installed.
• The particular pattern of light spread (beam angle) of the chosen parking lot light fixtures.

Since you are our manufacturing partner, Wosen provides free DIALux simulation. We will develop a complete lighting layout plan in order to make sure that this project is not only effective enough to satisfy all performance and safety demands, but devoid of such liabilities as excessive lighting or inadequate lighting (as it can prove an expensive experience).

Solar powered parking lot lights may be a wonderful idea, though it is always worth considering the advantages and the disadvantages.

Pros:

• No Electricity Expenses: Solar parking lot lights are all off-grid, and there is no electricity bill.
• Simple Installation. No cable or trenching is needed, which greatly decreases the complexity and cost of installation, particularly at distant parts of a lot.
• Eco-Friendly: The sources of energy used by them are renewable, and thus, the carbon footprint of the facility can be low.

Cons:

• Weather Dependent: Performance can be compromised after several consecutive cloudy or snowy days.
• Battery Maintenance: There is a planned battery life (around 3-5 years) on the integrated batteries in solar panel parking lot lights, and they will need to be replaced, which is a maintenance expense that will occur in the future.
