Most parking garages are designed for 5 to 10 average footcandles in general parking areas and 10 to 20 footcandles in entrance ramps, security zones, and pedestrian pathways. The 40W and 50W 4-foot models typically meet 8 to 12 footcandles at 10 to 12 foot mounting heights when spaced appropriately. Higher output 100W and 150W fixtures can achieve 15 to 25 footcandles in tighter layouts or higher security applications. The 5000K daylight option improves visual clarity and perceived brightness in garage environments.
