In order to minimize facility liability and enhance users’ perceptions of safety, it is important to have high quality lighting in parking lots and garages. Since it is perceived as less ‘a part of the building’ parking lots often don’t make it onto the priority list until the end of the budget, where it’s most tempting to choose a low acquisition cost at the expense of future maintenance and liability. This decision ends up being detrimental to the users, and eventually to the company’s bottom line. We make it a priority to advise our clients on the value-add that outdoor LED lighting provides, not just for overall visual appeal and safety, but simply because it offers the best return on investment. Visibility, aesthetic appeal, and plain business smarts are all good reasons to consider LED parking lot lighting or LED warehouse lighting.
Trying to determine the best exterior illumination is perhaps the hardest step because in outdoor LED lighting the ambient environment becomes an added consideration, even to specifics of the local climate at differing times of the year. For example, in cold weather, fixtures with fluorescent bulbs exhibit slow starting and operate inefficiently while LEDs enjoy better efficiencies and lifetimes. Another issue to consider is that maintaining of the installed systems. Other types of lighting, such as HID and halogen can be high-maintenance options requiring more expensive upkeep. Outdoor LED lighting is an overall logical solution in both the short-term and the long-run.

Outdoor illumination should be as attractive as that used for any indoor arena. For LED parking lot lighting in particular, the LED flood light is a good choice as it provides aesthetic value and enhances visibility remarkably.
