Parking Lot Lighting
-
If only a few lights have failed and the existing fixtures are in good condition, converting them to LED can be a practical option. It allows you to keep the existing fixtures uniform throughout the parking lot while benefiting from lower energy use and improved light output. If failures are widespread or the fixtures are deteriorated, complete LED fixture replacement may make more sense.
-
The condition of the entire fixture should be considered, not just whether the lamp is working. Fixtures with broken glass, deteriorated seals, corrosion, damaged sockets, heat-damaged wiring, or other significant problems may be better candidates for replacement. A fixture that is structurally sound and in good condition may still be a good candidate for LED conversion.
-
No. The LED lamp needs to be suitable for the fixture and the environment in which it will operate. Many parking lot fixtures are enclosed, and not every LED replacement lamp is rated for use in an enclosed fixture. Lamp quality also matters because servicing parking lot lights often requires specialized access equipment, making premature lamp failures more costly.
