• Of course, any parking lot, large or small,
  should be illuminated for safety and visibility
  first. An unlimited number of different types of
  flood lights can be used to secure the edge of a
  parking lot by removing the shadows along the
  walls, behind buildings and in gaps between store
  fronts. This can create a challenge for some
  contractors working in a community with strict
  dark sky laws on light pollution.

• Lighting a 6,000 square foot of pavement may
  require the use of 1000 Watt metal halide light
  fixtures to light the edges and entrances and
  distribute light evenly on the concrete. But if
  dark sky laws mandate strict containment of light
  spills, you will need to house these fixtures
  that have a variety of design options for
  accommodating semi-full/cut-off construction of
  the parking lot light fixture. Otherwise the
  light will go into the neighboring houses and
  businesses, or even in the eyes of motorists.
• In general, it is best to use American made
  lighting fixtures for parking lots. Quality
  control of various levels of government, and
  ensures that the manufacturers\ back their
  products are unmatched in most of the world.

• Parking lot lights may need to be very visual in
  some situations. Fixtures may require a visual
  element in certain situations. In some projects,
  this will matter much more than
  others. University campuses, schools, and
  government buildings should be illuminated with
  light fixtures that offer a design that closely
  matches the geometric proportions and
  architectural design of the adjoining
  buildings.  Most companies require aesthetic
  parking lot lights for security and attracting
  customers. The single thing an person may notice
  when they drive by your place of business is the
  parking lot. Eye-catching  lighting fixtures
  that are well designed will often be enough to
  catch a persons attention.

• Parking lot lighting kits represents a serious
  factor of high retail sales. Not only must it
  provide potential customers with safety, it must
  also provide the best possible visibility. Color
  representation should be as close to daylight
  levels in order to enhance storefront
  decorations, outdoor sign lighting, and
  landscaping lighting features that create an
  aesthetically pleasing setting all over the
  common grounds adjacent the parking lot itself.

• Metal Halide lights provide the greatest lighting
  source for parking lots due to their high color
  rendering index (CRI) and their bright white
  light. Once enclosed in superior, commercial
  grade light fixtures, they are also outstanding
  for controlling glare. This is another crucial
  factor to parking lot lighting that warrants
  cautious design and purchasing choices. Parking
  lots on car lots, strip centers and shopping
  malls experience a high amount of pedestrian
  traffic, and automobile traffic tends to get
  larger as closing time approaches. It is
  essential to give clear horizontal foot-candles
  density for walkers to clearly see the
  ground. Likewise, vertical foot candles in
  parking lots are also just as important, allowing
  motorists to judge distances between themselves,
  other automobiles, light poles and outdoor
  obstructions.

• Commercial grade lighting of this type help make
  the most of lumens per watt efficiency and help
  business owners weather tight times with more
  reasonably priced lighting fixtures and power
  costs. In many instances, Commercial grade
  lighting fixtures to light parking lots can
  improve energy efficiency as much as 400. The
  first front end outlay in new parking lot lights
  and poles will help store owners immediately
  begin saving money. This is extremely important
  to many cities, where new energy codes will soon
  go into law that limit outdoor site lighting
  around shopping centers and parking lots to 15
  watts per square foot. Only with top of the line
  halogen fixtures can business owners expect to
  balance the mandates of lighting code compliance
  with the clear requirements of sufficient light
  levels, color rendering, and glare minimization.
