Spacing depends on pole height and lumen output. A typical spacing guideline for parking lot lighting is 2 to 3 times the mounting height. For example, at 15 feet high using the 60W setting, poles may be spaced approximately 30 to 40 feet apart depending on target footcandles. At 20 feet high using the 75W configuration, spacing between 40 and 55 feet apart is common for balanced coverage. For pathway and pedestrian applications, spacing is typically reduced to maintain uniformity and visual comfort. In campus or park settings, fixtures may be spaced 25 to 35 feet apart at 12 to 15 feet mounting heights to achieve smooth walkway illumination without dark gaps. A photometric layout is recommended to confirm uniformity ratios and meet municipal lighting requirements.
