DECISION-MAKING FOR PARKING LOT LIGHTING

COST ALONE IS AN INADEQUATE MEASUREMENT IN LIGHTING DESIGN DECISIONS FOR PARKING LOTS. CONSIDERATION MUST BE GIVEN TO THE TYPE OF PARKING LOT INVOLVED - COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, OR RESIDENTIAL; TO ITS LOCATION - IN A LARGE METROPOLITAN AREA, A SMALL SUBURBAN DISTRICT, OR A QUIET RESIDENTIAL ZONE; AND TO THE SIZE OF THE SPACE ITSELF AND HOW MANY CARS IT CAN ACCOMMODATE. NEW LAMPS, LUMINAIRES, AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES ARE CONSTANTLY BEING DEVELOPED, AS IS THE WILLINGNESS OF THE LIGHTING CUSTOMER TO PAY INCREASINGLY HIGHER COSTS, IN TERMS OF FIXTURES AND POWER, FOR THE HIGHER LEVELS OF ILLUMINATION HE DEMANDS. GOOD PARKING LOT LIGHTING DESIGN WILL CONTINUE TO BE A DETAILED PROCESS OF ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON. /AUTHOR/
