Commercial Parking Lot Lighting has become increasingly regulated over the years and requires expert knowledge beyond electrical expertise to properly configure and install.For many years, the bulk of regulatory codes mandated certain foot candle minimums for commercial parking lots to produce in order to ensure that parked cars were not obscured in shadows and so motorists could see clearly to drive.Over time, however, more laws were passed to minimize glare that can distract drivers and cause accidents.The most recent round of legislation has now swept the nation from coast to coast, requiring commercial parking lot lighting not only to produce a certain number of foot-candles and a minimum amount of glare, but also more tightly regulating the direction of the lighting itself so as to restrict luminance to parking areas only without spilling into neighboring streets, homes, and businesses.
Lighting a commercial parking lot effectively even with standard luminaires and poles represents an increasingly sophisticated science which often requires the contractor to precisely match features and optics to mandated parameters of a given environment.Additional factors such as the wind resistance of poles and the various ways to plot optimal foot-candle levels either require a great deal of time doing math or the assistance of a vendor such as RLLD Commercial Lighting that has a trained consulting staff who will offer complimentary assistance to clients and consultation for competitive fees to the casual inquirers.By coming to us, the designer, builder, or DIY electrical contractor has the ability to save multiple steps and find exactly what is required for the job by selecting from any number of standard commercial grade and specification grade parking lot lighting luminaires and accessories.
