How to use parking lot lighting fixtures to save your costs? |LEDRHYTHM
For places that are frequently used at night, such as parking lots, paying attention to lighting work and choosing reasonable lighting solutions will go a long way in ensuring the safety of people and property and improving user experience. Parking lot lighting deserves special attention from car owners and managers.
With the massive increase in private cars, having good parking lot lighting is crucial to ensuring safe parking at night. Insufficient light will bring disaster, so how should we choose parking lot lighting fixtures? What factors should you pay attention to when choosing lamps?
The dangers of insufficient lighting in parking lots and the benefits of adequate lighting.
1. Insufficient lighting in the parking lot will increase the probability of accidents at night. In dim light conditions, the driver's vision is limited, making it difficult to detect obstacles and pedestrians in time, and collision accidents are prone to occur. At the same time, driving in a dark environment for a long time is more likely to cause visual fatigue and lead to errors in judgment. Therefore, parking lots must have adequate lighting.
2. Reasonable parking lot lighting can greatly enhance the safety of driving and parking at night. Adequate lighting allows drivers to have a better field of vision, detect potential safety hazards in a timely manner, and take appropriate measures to avoid accidents. This is of great significance in preventing casualties and property losses.
3. Perfect parking lot lighting can help reduce users’ anxiety and improve the parking experience. A relatively dark environment is more likely to make people feel insecure. Adequate lighting can make users feel at ease and also help management prevent crime.
4. Choosing appropriate parking lot lighting equipment is also very important. The illumination should reach more than 30 lumens, and the color temperature should be between 3000-5000K. At the same time, it is necessary to choose energy-saving lamps with anti-glare design and arrange them evenly to avoid dead spots.
Due to different usage environments, indoor parking lots and outdoor parking lots should also be treated differently in lighting design.
1. Lighting design for indoor parking lots
Indoor parking lot lighting is relatively easy to control. The basic principles of design are:
1. The illumination should reach more than 100 lumens, and the key areas should reach 150 lumens to ensure the visual effect.
2. Mainly uses white light, with a color temperature between 3000-5000K. Prevent color difference from affecting identification.
3. Use anti-glare lamps to avoid glare that may interfere with the driver's vision on the opposite side.
4. Use LED or energy-saving lamps to reduce energy consumption costs.
5. Arrange lighting reasonably to prevent dead spots and ensure uniform illumination in the entire area.
6. Set up the lighting control system to flexibly adjust the lighting mode according to needs.
2. Lighting design of outdoor parking lot
The outdoor environment is complex and changeable, and lighting design is difficult. You need to pay attention to:
1. Increase the overall brightness, with the illumination not less than 30 lumens. Key areas reach more than 50 lumens.
2. Increase the height of the lighting pole to expand the coverage area of a single lamp.
3. Take design measures such as waterproofing, dustproofing, and lightning protection to ensure stable operation of the equipment.
4. Choose lamps with a wide light distribution range to reduce missed blind spots.
5. Set up emergency backup power sources at key locations to prevent accidents caused by sudden power outages.
6. Regularly check circuit connections and lamp damage to ensure normal operation of the equipment.
7. Adjust the lighting mode according to weather conditions to ensure the effect.
Good lighting is critical to the safe operation of both indoor and outdoor parking lots. When designing, we need to consider the actual use environment and choose a reasonable lighting solution. At the same time, attention should be paid to inspection and maintenance to ensure the reliable operation of the equipment.
