Car park and street

Parking facilities and streets require adequate lighting – for safe arrivals, departures and journeys. Outdoor garage lighting and driveway lights keep people safe at night time, whether they are leaving their house or car for a late night shift, or exiting a building to return to their vehicle.

It’s crucial to carefully study car park lighting standards to ensure proper light levels for sufficient safety, but in a way that saves energy and avoids creating too much light pollution.

Carpark lighting often plays much more of a key role than you might expect in creating a truly superior commercial outdoor lighting system. A wide range of column heights and column mounting options allows you to combine elevation and angles of incidence with lower wattage luminaires. This can – and does, in many cases – reduce overall operating costs, as more light can be produced with more sophisticated, lower-wattage outdoor lights that provide superior illumination, visibility, safety, and directional lighting control.

Street lighting is regulated by the EN 13201 standard, containing guidelines on its selection with special focus on different types of streets and performance requirements. Outdoor lamps for use on streets are meant to provide visual clues and reveal obstacles in order to ensure safety for pedestrians as well as cyclists and drivers.

Energy-efficient outdoor light fixtures with different types of optics and luminous intensity variants are available to fulfil the necessary requirements regarding average luminance and illuminance, uniformity and discomfort glare depending on the height and distance between poles.
