A parking lot light should typically produce between 10,000 and 20,000 lumens per fixture, depending on the mounting height, spacing, and area size. Smaller lots or lower poles may only need fixtures around 10,000–12,000 lumens, while large commercial lots or high-mast installations may require 20,000 lumens or more for proper visibility and safety. For optimal design, refer to IES RP-8 lighting standards or a professional photometric layout to ensure balanced illumination and energy efficiency across the entire lot.
