Before moving forward with a parking lot lighting project, you must make sure your replacement lights are in line with municipal standards and guidelines. Municipalities around the United States have varying standards for parking lot lighting written into their municipal codes.
These standards cover everything from the height of the fixtures themselves, to how bright they are, to rules about their usage.
Some areas require that buildings and businesses dim their lights after closing time. Others require that the light from the lot not interfere with passing traffic or adjacent properties. Virtually all codes call for a minimum foot-candle measurement.
When you work with FSG, we will ensure your parking lot lighting complies with all applicable local codes and regulations. We do this in the same way new construction projects proceed within the constraints of local building codes.
We begin every LED project by reviewing all applicable local codes and standards for outdoor lighting fixtures. If approvals are required, we will submit the appropriate applications before proceeding with the work.
In most cases, we already know the relevant local lighting codes, and we are prepared to complete our lighting design without any questions. Most importantly, we are always ready and able to provide you with the applicable information related to local lighting codes so that you can confidently know your lighting project falls within local government guidelines.
