There are many opinions as far as parking lot lighting is concerned. Many feel as if the lighting in a parking lot is sufficient if it simply exists, and others feel it should be very bright, and meet all of the needs of the people.
When considering an upgrade to your lighting system, there are many things to consider. For example: if your lighting has not been upgraded in many years, you may want to consider the five basic questions below, and then decide if you need to upgrade your lighting system:
- Intensity of the lighting: how bright are your lights?
- Uniformity of lighting: how consistent is the light level throughout the lighted area?
- Color of lighting: how accurately does the lighting show colors?
- Efficiency of lighting: how much light per watt of electricity does the lighting system give?
- Lamp life: How long do the lamps last before they will have to be replaced?
If you follow the suggested list above, you will be well on your way to ensuring that your lighting is up to date, and safe for anyone who enters your parking lot. Following this list will ensure that your lighting meets all the needs of the people.
Many business choose to wait until the lighting is not working to replace them. This is not a wise idea. Updating your system with brighter lighting will ensure your parking lot is running smoothly and is at the ultimate level of safety for your staff, and customers.
