LED Parking Lot Lighting Case Study
In this case study, we examine a retail store parking lot. After a detailed evaluation, our team recommended the installation of LED area lights, specifically chosen to suit the extensive and open layout of the parking lot. These fixtures enhance visibility and safety for customers and staff and promote sustainability and energy independence, significantly reducing the dealership’s operational costs.
Parking Lot Lighting Design
Here’s an example of a solar lighting photometric design constructed by our professional lighting engineers. In this example, A customer constructed a corner grocery store with an existing 19-car (12,000 sq ft) parking lot. Installing conventional area lights would have incurred significant additional costs due to the need for underground cable trenching, which would have damaged the existing lot. The estimated costs for trenching and cabling for just three poles were projected to be around $8,000.
The scope included three 50W Area Lights which provided an average of 1.61 footcandles; enough light to meet IES recommended illumination for suburban parking lots (1.0 fc). Thus, trenching and trenching damage is avoided. Now the customer will have parking lot lights without disruption to the parking lot and annual power savings,
Results
After the installation of the solar-powered LED area lights in the auto dealership parking lot, the results were exceptionally favorable. The client was thoroughly pleased with the uniformity of the illumination and the way the lights catered to the expansive layout of the parking lot. Our lighting engineers' advanced 3D photometric design effectively delivered the desired lighting outcomes.
The client appreciated the efficient light distribution and expressed gratitude for the professional recommendation and the comprehensive approach taken. The improved visibility and energy sustainability provided by the new solar parking lot lighting setup has significantly enhanced the overall functionality and satisfaction in the dealership operations.
