LED wall packs withstand harsh weather conditions and deliver long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. With options for photocells, LED wall packs optimize energy savings by adjusting light output based on real-time needs. Their wide beam distribution ensures uniform lighting coverage, reducing dark spots and improving security in commercial and industrial environments.

LED Street Lights

LED street lights provide efficient, long-lasting illumination that enhances visibility and safety. These fixtures are designed to offer superior light distribution and endure harsh weather conditions. With type II-S light distribution, slipfitter mounts, and optional twist-lock photocells, our LED street lights are a cost-effective solution for commercial and municipal applications.

LED Corn Bubs

LED corn light bulbs are designed to replace high pressure sodium and metal halide bulbs, providing a high-lumen solution with superior brightness, and reduced maintenance costs. These are installed after bypassing the ballast in the existing fixture.

The instant-on LED corn bulbs are constructed with a shatterproof design, heat dissipation sinks, and rows of LEDs for even, 360° light distribution. They are available in various wattages from 10W to 270W and color temperatures ranging from 3000K to 5000K and selectable CCT. Upgrade to LED corn bulbs for improved efficiency, longevity, and cost savings in parking lot and street lighting applications.

High Lumen LED Filament Bulbs

High lumen LED filament bulbs are designed to replace traditional HID and incandescent bulbs in industrial applications while maintaining their appearance, by bypassing the existing fixture’s ballast. The LEDs deliver a high-lumen output with significantly lower energy consumption. Their omnidirectional light distribution enhances visibility and safety while offering superior brightness. Upgrade to high lumen LED filament bulbs for a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution that integrates into existing fixtures.

What is the best lighting for parking lots and streets?
LED parking fixtures with a high lumen output, uniform distribution, and appropriate color temperature (4000K–5000K) provide the best visibility and efficiency.

LED parking lot lights use specialized optics to optimize light distribution, enhancing visibility and efficiency. Type II, III, IV, and V optics are the most common:

• Type II: Designed for narrow roadways, pathways, and the edges of small parking lots, Type II optics provide a slightly elongated distribution pattern. They are ideal for side-mounted fixtures along driveways or narrow parking aisles, improving visibility without excessive spill light.
• Type III: Provides a wide, forward throw, ideal for perimeter lighting and roadways.
• Type IV: Offers an even wider distribution with a forward and lateral throw, perfect for parking lot edges and large areas.
• Type V: Delivers a circular or square distribution, best for central mounting in large open spaces.

These optics reduce glare, minimize light spill, and improve uniformity, making LED parking lot lights more effective and energy-efficient.

If you are looking to retrofit existing metal halide and high-pressure sodium parking lights to LEDs, LED corn bulbs are a great option. They require the ballast to be bypassed but can then be installed directly into existing fixtures.

How many lumens are needed for street and parking lot lighting?
Proper light levels are essential for safety and visibility in outdoor spaces. The required lumens for street and parking lot lighting depend on factors such as mounting height, pole spacing, and intended use.  The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) provides general guidelines for recommended lumen output based on the size and application of the area:

Street Lighting (IES RP-8-18)

• Major Roadways: 9,000-12,000 lumens (10-15 lux) per fixture
• Collector Roads (medium traffic): 6,000-9,000 (6-10 lux)lumens per fixture
• Local Roads (residential, low traffic): 3,000-6,000 (3-6 lux) lumens per fixture

Parking Lot Lighting (IES RP-20-14)

• High Activity Areas (shopping centers, sports arenas, etc.): 15,000-30,000 (20-50 lux)lumens per fixture (10-15 lux)
• Medium Activity Areas (offices, hospitals, etc.): 10,000 - 20,000 lumens per fixture (10-20 lux)
• Low Activity Areas (industrial, storage, etc.): 4,000-10,000 lumens per fixtures (5-10 lux)

Selecting the appropriate lumen output ensures adequate light levels for pedestrian and vehicle visibility while minimizing glare and energy consumption.

How does LED lighting improve parking lot safety?
LEDs provide higher light output and uniform light distribution, reducing shadows and glare, improving visibility, and enhancing security.

Unlike traditional lighting, LEDs offer directional illumination, ensuring light is evenly distributed across the parking lot. This minimizes dark spots and shadows, which can create safety risks for pedestrians and vehicles. Improved uniformity helps drivers see obstacles, curbs, and other vehicles more clearly.

Additionally, LEDs reduce glare by using special optics or lenses that control light distribution. This prevents excessive brightness that can cause temporary blindness for drivers and pedestrians, improving overall safety.

With instant-on functionality, LEDs illuminate immediately, unlike metal halide or HPS lights that require a warm-up time. This ensures consistent lighting at all times.

What is the best pole height for parking lot lights?
The best pole height for parking lot lights depends on the lot size and lighting needs. Small lots (retail, small businesses) typically use 12-20 foot poles, spaced 20-30 feet apart, to provide adequate illumination without excessive glare.

Medium-sized lots (shopping centers, hotels) require 20-30 foot poles, spaced 30-40 feet apart, balancing coverage and efficiency. Large lots (malls, industrial parks, stadiums) benefit from 30-40 foot poles, spaced 40-50 feet apart, allowing broader coverage with fewer fixtures.

For very large areas like airports or highway rest stops, 40-100-foot high-mast lighting is used with powerful floodlights. Beam angles, local regulations, and mounting configurations also influence pole height selection. For most commercial applications, 20-30 feet provides the best balance of performance and cost.

How can I reduce energy costs with outdoor LED lighting?
High-efficiency LED fixtures can reduce energy costs by up to 75%. Daylight harvesting sensors, and photocells to optimize energy use based on the ambient light available.

What are the best lighting solutions for high-traffic areas?
LED fixtures with wide beam angles, and high lumen output keep high-traffic areas well-lit and safe. Automatic controls like photocells ensure optimal visibility and energy efficiency.

What are the recommended lighting standards for parking lots?
IES RP-20-14 suggests 1–5 footcandles on the pavement, depending on the parking lot type (general, high-security, etc.).

How do I maintain LED street and parking lot lights?
LED lights require little maintenance except regularly inspecting fixtures, cleaning lenses, checking electrical connections, and replacing failing components as needed.
