Car park lighting – effective area lighting in wind and weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether in public spaces, at businesses or in residential areas – parking spaces are needed everywhere. And most of the time, the grey areas are unsightly and sometimes even unwillingly used. For better usability and a more pleasant appearance of parking spaces, appropriate lighting is an effective means, because brightness is inviting and conveys safety. With several types of luminaires, Hoffmeister and Sill offer a product selection to equip parking areas simply and reliably with appropriate lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge of car park lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although a car park is ultimately “just” an open space where motor vehicles are parked, it places a whole range of different demands on the lighting concept:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Road safety for vehicles when parking and manoeuvring
\u2014 Safety for pedestrians to and from vehicles, especially if no separate footpaths are marked
\u2014 Creating a sense of security by reducing dark corners and “dead” areas
\u2014 Better opportunities for use by people with physical disabilities, e.g. parking spaces for wheelchair users with increased effort when transferring to the vehicle
\u2014 Urban revitalisation of the otherwise dead area through brightness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These different requirements bring very different aspects of lighting to the fore, which is why the requirements profile for luminaires for car parks is comparatively complex. In addition to the technical requirements for car park lighting, numerous regulations must be observed, for example from labour law or the DIN standards for accessibility. For example, DIN EN 12 464 – Part 2 defines illuminance levels for car parks according to frequency. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Functionalism – driving and parking safely<\/h2>

Every motor vehicle has its own headlights. However, especially in tight bends and when manoeuvring, these do not reliably illuminate the entire area of movement. People who step onto the road from the side, for example, are hardly detected by them and are thus quickly overlooked. This is why car park lighting has the task of illuminating as much of the area as possible and thus making the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on the parking area safer. <\/p><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

See and be seen – in the service of safety<\/h2>

Women’s parking spaces are designed to enable women to walk short distances to and from their own vehicles. The background is the fact that parking spaces are confusing and only a few people are there at the same time. Especially at night, there is an increased risk of being frightened and, in the worst case, harassed. Ideally, therefore, car park lighting creates a basic brightness that generates precisely this sense of safety for each individual parking space, which is often subsequently intended to be brought about by specially designated women’s parking spaces. <\/p><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Resistance to weathering and vandalism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Car parks are open areas unprotected from wind and weather. Intensive sunlight, strong winds and precipitation of all kinds are natural stresses for luminaires in car parks. In addition, there is often the issue of vandalism. Less frequented areas, which definitely include car parks, are time and again the scene of wanton damage and blind destructiveness. Luminaires are usually the number one target for the perpetrators and must therefore be highly resistant. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Car park lighting from Hoffmeister and Sill – powerful and efficient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We offer you a whole range of different luminaires for car parks with different lighting technologies. This way, lighting designers can find the right luminaires for optimum brightness depending on the size of the area and the layout of the car park or the division into tramlines and parking spaces. We are also happy to take care of individualised concepts for the lighting of industrial sites<\/a> or the atmospheric lighting of buildings<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Floodlight projectors – low installation effort, high light output<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to excellent asymmetric lighting techniques, the 150-155 series plane projectors<\/a> in particular are ideally suited for illuminating large areas such as car parks. Highly efficient LED modules direct the luminous flux of the floodlights<\/a> specifically onto the parking area via precise lenses. This allows large areas to be illuminated with a small number of required light points. Thanks to good glare control, a high level of visual comfort is also achieved. Increased corrosion protection for use in critical areas is available on request. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Post-top luminaires – create lighting points yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As parking spaces are not always directly adjacent to buildings or structures with possibilities for mounting floodlights, we offer optional accessories for our plane projectors for mounting several floodlights<\/a> at one mast location. This gives our luminaires their ideal height for optimum light distribution without having to rely on external framework conditions. Due to the slim design as a point mast, pole-mounted luminaires<\/a> can be positioned well even in confined spaces without hindering the efficient occupancy of the parking space. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

High protection for strong load capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Precisely because outdoor positioning is associated with enormous stresses due to moisture, dirt and temperature changes, we rely on appropriate protection in accordance with current technical standards. All Hoffmeister luminaires designed for outdoor use therefore have at least IP65 protection and in individual cases also have a high resistance to mechanical stress. In this way, you will find the right luminaire for every location with the best prerequisites for trouble-free operation and a long life expectancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
