In designing your parking garage lighting plan, it is important to consider a number of factors in order to create a safe environment. Natural light levels, walkway and stairwell illumination, and driver safety should be taken into account to ensure that customers and employees are safe on your property. Lighting plays a huge role in accident prevention and deterring crime when it comes to parking garages. A commercial lighting installation company can help you determine which fixtures and light levels will work best for your DC, Maryland, or Northern Virginia parking garage.
Key Factors in Planning Parking Garage Lighting
When analyzing your parking garage, what key factors does a lighting specialist look for in their assessment? What challenges may arise and how do we resolve those obstacles? Top criteria our specialists look for include:
Balanced
Illumination
Are light levels consistent across the garage?
Dark Spots
Are there dark corners or below ground levels that aren’t receiving enough light?
Aesthetics and
Functionality
How are the fixtures mounted? Are lights blocked because they are tucked up into beams?

Fixture Selection and Design
We will help you choose the right styles and sizes of light fixtures that will provide optimal security and illumination. Our team will provide examples of previous projects and help you explore your options. We provide layouts and photometric plans to guarantee compliance with all necessary standards.
Personalized Proposal
Once we have collected all of the information we need, we will develop a proposal for your parking garage project. This will include a formal lighting layout, photometric plan, specification sheets and manufacturer warranties, as well as estimated energy savings and present utility rebates that apply.
Rebate Optimization
We know how important it is to stay within budget. We can outfit your parking garage with fixtures, often LED, that use less energy to power and are connected to timers to reduce costs. We will complete the rebate process with your utility company for you, which can save you hours of work and ensure you get the maximum rebate.
