In a parking garage, the basic light supply is zero, so lighting precisely in this dark place is essential. Because parking garages are often open day and night, the lights also burn long and often. In addition, good, bright lighting makes you feel safe and deters burglars.
Lighting an entire parking garage requires a lot of lighting. Parking garages are large spaces with possibly several floors that can also slope up or down. You need good lighting in all parking spaces and also in walking lanes so that people do not overlook people while parking in or out. Therefore, the lights are regularly on for long periods at a time. Besides having a longer lifespan than normal lighting, LED lighting is also a lot more energy efficient. This is a long-term investment and thus ideal for parking garages!
Despite the fact that parking garages are often open day and night and guests regularly walk in and out to park their car, pick it up or grab something from the car, it is also regularly quiet in the space. It is then a waste to leave the lights on. A sensible solution is to opt for smart lighting. Using motion sensors, parts of the lighting are turned on or off the moment something or someone moves in a zone. The remaining fixtures, fully in accordance with the guidelines of NEN Netherlands, can then remain on at a lower level so that it is not otherwise completely dark in the building.
