The recommended lighting level for a car park typically ranges from 10 to 20 lumens per square foot, or approximately 100 to 215 lux, depending on the location, size, and security requirements. For open outdoor parking areas, this equates to about 20,000 to 30,000 total lumens per 1,000 square feet to achieve proper brightness and visibility. LED car park lights are the most efficient option, providing high lumen output with lower energy consumption and excellent uniformity. Always verify local codes, IES standards, and photometric design guidelines to ensure compliance and optimal illumination throughout the parking area.
