Lighting standards for parking areas typically require an average illumination level of 1–5 footcandles (10–50 lux), depending on the location and use (e.g., higher for high-traffic or high-security areas). Uniformity, minimizing glare, and ensuring all areas are adequately lit for safety and security are also important requirements, following guidelines from organizations like the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). Local building codes may specify additional requirements.
