4 Important Benefits of LED Parking Garage Lighting

Having proper illumination in your parking garage is important. It indicates the business is a welcoming place and that it cares about serving its visitors well and protecting their safety. In order to achieve the best lighting within a parking garage, it is essential to use LED garage lights. These lights have a number of advantages over traditional lighting. At Westgate Manufacturing, we offer a selection of some of the best LED garage lights that provide superb and energy efficient illumination for parking garage areas. This includes our CDLX series LED Canopy/Garage Light.

The benefits of using LED parking garage lights as opposed to conventional lighting include:

1. Exceptional Light Performance

LEDs disseminate light through a multi-point design which delivers a light pattern that is evenly distributed to the surface. As a result, the light spread across a surface will change less as the distance from the fixture or pole changes.

On the other hand, HIDs generate a bright spot of light right beneath the fixture with a very significant reduction in the level of light projected as the distance from the pole increases. The best lights for garage ceiling and other locations in the category of LED provide even light distribution which helps prevent this issue.

2. Improved Security

The bright lighting provided by LEDs discourages criminal activity. When the lighting is inadequate or poor, criminals find greater opportunity to work under cover of darkness. Also, poor lighting does not allow surveillance cameras to capture footage adequately.

3. Better Energy Efficiency

LEDs generate a higher level of light per unit of power (lumens per watt). This results in less electricity required to achieve full luminosity. With a wattage of 24 to 82 compared to 70 to 400 for HID lamps, the best LED garage lights can deliver an energy savings in the range of 40 to 60 percent compared to HID lights.

4. Low Maintenance

Because LEDs last longer than other conventional lights, they do not need replacement as often. Also, the higher brightness level and more even distribution of light they provide makes it possible to use fewer light fixtures space out throughout the parking lot, reducing maintenance requirements.
