The average parking lot light typically uses between 100 and 400 watts, depending on the fixture type, mounting height, and illumination requirements. Modern LED parking lot lights generally range from 100 to 300 watts, delivering the same brightness as older 400W to 1000W metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures while using far less energy. The ideal wattage depends on factors such as the pole height, spacing, and total area coverage. Lower wattage's are suitable for small lots or lower poles, while higher wattages are used for large commercial areas, roadways, and high-mast installations requiring maximum visibility and safety.
