Important Things to Consider When Choosing LED ShoeBoxLights for Your Parking Lot

It is no secret that parking lot lights consume a lot of electricity.
In fact, they can have a negative impact on a business’ bottom line.
But we all know that parking lots must be bright, well-lit areas in
order to enhance safety and security.Before LED lighting was
introduced, most parking lot poles had high intensity discharge light
fixtures. And while these fixtures provided bright light, the light
didn’t remain bright for very long and they consumed a lot of energy,
increasing electric bills significantly.

Why Get LED Lighting for A Warehouse?

High-Bay light fixtures are not only ideal for warehouses, they are used in facilities with high ceilings that require illumination from very high points (15 or more feet), like gymnasiums, sports arenas, loading docks, and industrial facilities.Until recently, metal halide lights were the only lights used in high bay lighting fixtures. However, these lights have many issues (they take time to warm up, buzz and flicker, consume a lot of electricity, and don’t have a long lifespan). Because of their inefficiency, these lights were quickly replaced by fluorescent and LED lighting systems. But the best of the two is definitely LED because of its energy efficiency, low maintenance, long lifespan, and better light output.

Foot Candles Recommended for Different Types of Environments

Truth be told, lighting systems are not equal. What may be ideal for one location may be unsuitable for another. For instance, a big box store does not need the same amount of light as a packaging warehouse. Even if these two facilities have the same square feet, the activities carried out inside them are very different.

Retrofitting vs. A Full Fixture Replacement: Which One Is Better?

There are two things most people grapple with when converting to energy-efficient lighting:
Choosing the best lighting technology for their spacesDeciding whether they should retain their existing light fixtures or replace both the light sources and the fixtures

LED technology is the best solution in both cases as it is highly versatile and extremely energy-efficient. However, switching to LED
doesn’t always mean replacing traditional light bulbs. Sure, if your current light fixtures work well, all you may need to do is replace the old bulbs with LED
modules. But if they are old, your only option may be a full fixture replacement.

Before we discuss retrofitting and a full replacement, let’s talk a little about LED technology.
