The external car park lighting at this ASDA store car park in Glasgow is similar to numerous Retail stores across the UK and Ireland including Tesco, Morrisons, Safeways, LIDL, etc.
The wide spacings between Poles has resulted in large savings in Poles, Luminaires and underground wiring, trenching, etc. Car park lighting levels with retail chains are typically 20 Lux average with a minimum of 10 Lux. Typically, only 4 Luminaires/Poles are needed to illuminate an area of 100m by 100m, resulting in very competitive capital costs.
Other than the attractive Project costs, there are other advantages such as energy saving, maintenance, long life lamps, the ability to use dimming as low peak hours, and the option to add to extend lamp life to 60,000 hours average (ie. longer than LED).
VeeLite also offer an equivalent, but architectural Luminaire which provides similar light levels.
