When designing lighting for a parking garage, the primary goals are to ensure safety, maximize visibility, and meet regulatory requirements. Lighting fixtures should deliver sufficient brightness—generally between 1- 5 fc—with increased illumination at entrances, exits, and pedestrian pathways to improve security and wayfinding. Achieving uniform light distribution is crucial to eliminate shadows and dark areas, following recommended uniformity ratios such as 3:1 or 10:1 depending on the specific location. Incorporating energy-efficient, dimmable LED fixtures and motion sensors helps lower operating costs and reduce environmental impact. Other important considerations include installing emergency lighting, choosing durable and weather-resistant luminaires, and adhering to local regulations for mounting heights and minimizing light spill. Thoughtful lighting design also addresses transition zones at garage entry and exit points, allowing drivers’ eyes to adjust smoothly between outdoor daylight and indoor conditions, which further enhances overall safety.
