So how can you improve your car park?

LED lighting of course.

LED Lighting Improves Security

For car parks that are open 24 hours or late evenings in winter, a sense of security is vital. You want your customers to feel safe leaving their cars in your car park. Lighting is essential for this. Historically, car parks have used traditional halogen light bulbs for this purpose, but LED light bulbs are proving to be a popular choice for creating an improved sense of security.

LED lighting for car parks provides an even light that reduces shadows and actually helps users to see better. For a multi story car park this is a great advantage as users will be able to see signs more easily and enter and exit the car park more safely.

It is also well known that lighting areas at night can help to reduce crime, even by up to 15% as seen here. The light provided by LED lights can help with the quality of CCTV footage and makes it easier to see any details that may be missed if halogen lighting is used.

Reduce your maintenance time and costs

Calling in engineers to replace bulbs is costly and disruptive to the car park. Should you replace one bulb or wait until a few need replacing? Either situation isn’t ideal.

As LED lights require less maintenance then you’ll not have to worry about any lighting breaking down regularly. A long lifespan means that you’ll spend less time and money when compared to replacing old halogen style lights bulbs.

Keep your running costs low

On top of the reduction of maintenance costs, LED lights also mean a huge saving in electricity costs. As commercial energy costs aren’t becoming any cheaper and businesses need to reduce their carbon footprint, you need an energy efficient solution. LED light bulbs deliver a up to 75-80% reduction in energy costs which means you make a huge saving.

LED lighting produces little heat, especially compared to traditional light bulbs. This excess heat is a waste of energy and can also damage the walls and leave discolouration.

LED lighting is especially suitable for car parks as they can be timed to deliver the perfect levels of light. Dimmers can be installed to help save the light required during the day and increase the light during darker hours.
